Hello AAW!

I'm Ben King. I'm a technology teacher (woodworking, engineering and CAD) in central Wisconsin and also have a summer job doing CNC machining for a medical device company. I've been turning since I went to college and the school I teach at purchased a 3520c about 3 years ago. I'm hoping to purchase a large lathe to start doing woodworking at home.

I also enjoy working with electronics and programing, wood cncing, smoking meat, gardening, training my dog, lawn care and many other smaller hobbies.
 
Welcome Ben. Buy the biggest lathe you can afford because you can turn little things on a big lathe but you can’t turn big things on a little lathe. Enjoy you journey
