Hi everyone. My name is Chris Sanchez.
I am a beginner woodturner my wife got me a cheap Wen lathe from Amazon to start with it's 12"×18" I have turned a few bowls and a couple of boxes a mushroom and a Christmas tree so far.

A little about myself I have a bad back problem so it's hard to get out and turn some day's.
I love woodturning it has been a great experience so far gets my mind off my back. I really want to learn segmented Bowl turning. I'm 42 years old.

My shop isn't a shop it's more like my drive way. My lathe,bandsaw,miter saw,drill press,planner and Jointer are out in the car port I live in a mobile home no garage. I don't have pictures of my shop. I will add pictures later on if needed not home at the moment.
