Hi Everyone,My name is Dale but people call me whatever they feel like.I got into woodworking,primarily turning about 6 yrs ago.It all started with a shopsmith and progressed from there.I turn a variety of different things without focusing on any particulr style.I also do some flatwork but I try to incorperate turning whenever I can.Early on I got into making pen kits with burls and segmenting,I have transitioned into crosswrap thread art like they use in custom fishing rod building for my pens now.

Welcome from Alaska. Post some pictures of your work if you get a chance. Are you still turning on the shopsmith?

Edit: just saw your image gallery. Good looking turnings!

Hi Brandon,thanks for the welcome.I don't have the smith anymore,couple years ago I aquired a VL200 short bed and a bunch of tools from an estate auction so that's what I use now.

Welcome aboard. Those estate sales are a boon. Don't want to think how much I have in all that stuff and how much my family will get out of it. But hey the one with the most "tools" wins.

I heard or read someone say "My biggest fear is that when I die, my wife will sell everything for what I told her I paid for it."

Thanks for the welcome and laughs fellas. Estate sales are the only time a guy gets a deal on woodworking tools,after they've been pryied from their cold dead hands.Not making light of their passing, just the old phrase.
