Happy to be here. I've been woodworking since my early teens. Tables, cabinets, benches, book shelfs etc. My family had farm in western pa just across the state line from Weirton WV. Dad and my uncle were always making one thing or the other and my cousins and I were the grunts. I got into turning about 12 years ago when my brother-in-law passed away and my sister gave me all his shop tools. He was an Appalachian Artisan. One of the machines I got was an old sears lathe. Been loving turning ever since.

I have been experimenting with epoxy and wood lately.
