Hello everyone,

I'm brand new here, I'm a beginner in Arvada, Colorado. I turned 10-15 pens 5 or 6 years ago but then I lived in apartments until recently. I now have a workshop in the garage and I'm trying to get back into turning. I recently took an intro to turning class at Woodcraft and I'm hoping to take a bowl class soon.
 
Welcome from Texas!
A class is a great nonstress way to get started.
This hobby--more than my others, gives me the greatest amount of stress relief (and sometimes a little frustration when those bad things happen with a piece of wood)
