Congrats! Im a woodworker myself. I do turn projects from time to time. I have a 4 foot lathe as well as a mini. My best advice to you is just start playing around and you will catch on quickly. Each chisel serves its purpose, none better than the other. My main advice is safety. Any questions you have feel free to ask. Hope I can help.

Dread removal
General Talk
I have to agree with SE here. I am heavily tattooed and wear my dreads down most the time. I own a high end woodworking business and have never been turned down by a customer because of my appearance. It's all about how you carry yourself. Plus if they are that off put by your appearance you don't want to do business with those people anyway. There will be other issues down the road. Just my opinion though, I'm not in your shoes.
new soap like dr. bronners?

That sucks! I didn't have that issue, I just didn't think it was as clean as I normally get it. At least we know now

I totally forgot to get back to you on the kiss my face castle soap. I did get a few bottles from them. I've done a couple washes with it and it did it's job. Although I'm not 100% happy with it. I know a lot of people hate dread head hq, but I've always been happy using their shampoo. Seems to do a real good job.

I have the same issue playing soccer...Im constantly running around on the field tucking dreads back in that fall out of my pony tail. You come up with anything good yet?

Its actually in the contract he signed that he has to look that way. So technically he agreed to it. If he doesn't follow through they can fine him for it. It's in every single players contract.

He makes $100,000 a day. For one he had the choice to be traded and he chose to go. So if that's the teams policy he should follow it. I agree hair doesn't make a person good or bad, but he has the choice to not make that much money and keep his dreads. I would for sure cut mine off for that much money...hair grows back when you retire. It is after all just hair.
Any suggestions for separating dreads?

Wow man, Im just waiting for the day I get myself on the table saw. I know what you mean about being a pain to shower. I've broken my arms 7 times. I had two broken arms at one point. Thanks for that info. I used wax to start mine. Not a lot, but now Im considering a wax removal. I bet I have sawdust stuck in there. Did this injury cause you to stop cabinet making?
