Welcome from Illinois.

I spent a summer living with my grandpa in Phoenix 34-35 years ago.. 43rd Ave and Thomas road. Looked a while back on Google maps and the Wattaburger is gone.. Sad times.

Welcome Chris.

 

[Jim Reynolds]

I suggest you join a local woodturning club, if you haven't already. Lots of benefits and usually low cost. Here is a link to the AAW chapter search page. Welcome!

Have you joined any turning groups in the local Phoenix area? I spend my winters there (Gold Canyon) and was thinking joining one.

thx for the welcome. agreed...sad times when a whattaburger is closed down. greg, i haven't joined a local group but i think there is one in mesa that wouldn't be too far from gold canyon.

I just joined the one in Phoenix. It’s a big club with a lot of opportunity for participation and learning. It was only $30 a year. I will check into Mesa Woodturning as well.
