Hello Fellow Woodturners, I have just joined the forum and am happy to be a part of the organization. I hail from Zionsville, Indiana and have been a woodworker/woodturner for thirty years. I actually began turning wood about twenty years starting when I spent time in England. I took lessons from some really good woodturners and it help me get my skills in order. About a year ago, I built a new shop and properly setup my lathe and I have been working on my skills and making some projects for family and friends. My wife really appreciates that I can produce turnings that she can use for gifts for her friends. So if I spend a little money ( or a lot of money) on my hobby, I usually can get a way with it.
At this time, I am working on trying to figure out what aspect of woodturning projects I am most interested in making. My interest seem to keep coming back to making toys. I can make bowls and vases, but toys seem to be something I am interested in exploring. It is always a winner with the families that have small children.
