I retired about 8 years ago after 40 years in the carpenters union. Couldn't seem to get that out of my system so I continued to work part-time for a couple of years.
Spent a few years taking care of the accumulation of 'honey do's', then re-landscaped the back yard.
I was looking for something to while away the golden years, and my brother suggested wood turning.
Watched about a gazillion youtube videos, bought an old Rockwell 46-525, joined AWW, and now I'm looking for a new lathe.

Welcome to the AAW forum, Charlie. Once you get into the woodturning vortex there is no escape. If you haven't already found an AAW chapter, there is one in Coburg.

Welcome to a wonderful hobby/addiction. JK---it's fun to make things from chunks of wood.

Welcome and good move to join AAW. As mentioned, find a local chapter and learn.

Welcome to the forum.
There are many excellent turners in the northwest.
Ditto on connecting with a local chapter if you have not already done so.
