Hello AAW Forum, I am a new member here and turned my 1st (actually 3) pieces finished on Feb 14th of 2021. I bought a used Jet 1224 that sat in my shop for (oh my)over a year. Finally Purchased a starter set of Benjamin's Best tools and grabbed a random log from our small pile. The log was about 4" in diameter and was Eastern Red Cedar (Juniper) which I turned (pun intended) into a set of 3 (almost) matching candle holders. As my skills improved and the frustration level dropped I really started to enjoy this new hobby. After just 10 months of turning I now have a shop full of equipment and much better tools and...also a Jet 1642 lathe and canister filters on the dual bag dust collector. here are a few things I have enjoyed making and hoping ya'll take it easy on the Newbie.
