Not really a new member. Just a new member to posting on the forum. I taught HS Industrial Arts for 10 years before going to a local utility to teach welding for 2.5 years. I was a CWI and Quality Supervisor for the same utility for another 21 years. My turning is mostly utilitarian; tool handles, pens, tool parts, furniture parts, ornaments. I enjoy making tools and parts. I do tool repair for our Guild and Woodturners Clubs.,
