Hi Everyone, thank you for including me on the AAWfourms. Great site and loads of information. I'm pushing 75 yrs. old with 3 sons, 5 grands & 2 great grands. Been piddling with wood working about 30 years and about a year ago I decided I neededvto try wood turning. I was hooked immediately. I didn't have a lathe or any tools. I quickly found out the tools are not cheap. Being on Socual Security didn't help either. Well I bought an old Delta/Rockwell for $150.00, made a couple tools & off I went. I'll try to include a few pictures. I'm not very good when it comes to final finish as I only have one eye, only partial use of left shoulder and Neuropathy in both feet. But I love wood turning. One issue I have to work on is tool presentation to the wood. I hope to enjoy learning things on this site that will improve my skills.
