The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Life enrichment through consumption

TWW decided to replace his two 25 year old file cabinets that could no longer hold files bought from a consignment place in Mpls file cabinets with a new one and found one for $40 off with free delivery. He is not going to mention the name of the company so NSA won't know it. The delivery company left the box by the garage and did not ring the doorbell and it rained on delivery day.  Fortunately the box did not get wet. The box had some holes but did not appear damages too bad.  Below are some pictures of the new file cabinet. 

 This is what TWW ordered: 


This is what he got: 


The company was willing to send a truck out to take the cabinet back and TWW could order a new one (not sure at what price) but could not guarantee the replacement would arrive undamaged. TWW is taking the broken file cabinet back to a store 40 miles away and getting a replacement one there and haul it home safely (he hopes) on Saturday to help limit CO2 emissions from big trucks.
