Hello all, greetings from Ct! I'm a long time woodworking enthusiast but new to woodturning. Gearing up to make my first lathe and tools purchases but I'm already very excited and inspired by all of the beautiful work and craftsmanship taking place here. Speak soon!
 
Welcome to the forum, Chris! You’re at a very exciting beginning point of your journey. Let the obsession begin! :) But seriously, this forum is an amazing place to grow as a turner and artist. There are so many giants here to offer guidance/critique, and everyone is pretty dang cool. Don’t hesitate to ask questions—looking forward to seeing your work.
