I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas on wood turning. I am a custom pool cue maker and recently decided to start turning by hand again. I haven't turned anything with a chisel since high school (35+ years ago) and I have become a little obsessed with my new found hobby. I purchased a Powermatic 3520C lathe about 6 months ago along with some starter chisels and brushed up on my skills. I am trying to get more proficient at sharpening before investing in better tooling. I have been using my lathe as a means of therapy and stress relief and it is working perfectly. I chuck up a log with a bowl inside it and cut until I find it and kind of get lost in search. Kind of a long winded introduction, sorry, but I am really looking forward to learning from everyone and hopefully, as I sharpen my skills, contribute some pearls of wisdom of my own.

Welcome to the forum and the Wonderful World of Woodturning. You understand the idea behind turning wood. Turn off anything that doesn't look like a bowl! Or a hollow form. Or a pen blank.
