Hello all,
I have been doing the wood working thing for quite a while, but have never tried turning. Well, I had the itch to buy a new tool a few weeks ago and ended up picking up a midi lathe. The following week I took a pen turning class and am hooked. I haven't set mine up yet, but am in the process of getting all the goodies to go with it. Always fun to get into a new way to work with wood....of course it doesn't help that I am in the middle of building the cabinets for my kitchen remodel (which my wife is VERY anxious for me to finish!).
I used to own a Jeep related forum, so I am very aware of how awesome it is to connect with others with like passions. I look forward to meeting/interacting/learning from and with you all...
Here are some pics of my shop...and the kitchen project interuptus that the newest tool is begging for...
Sorry the bike is in the way...
Here is part of the kitchen that is fighting for attention...
Thanks for looking everyone,
Allan
