Hello, my name is Dave Wheeler and I'm from Shelbyville, Indiana. I've been turning for more than 10 years. I have a Jet 1640 lathe. I tried in 2022 and now have more time for my two favorite hobbies, golf and wood turning. I'm attaching a few pictures of my shop and of two of my recent bowls.

Welome Dave!
I see what appears to be a sand blaster in your shop. Do you do works like Pascal Oudet? https://ateliercourbet.com/artists/pascal-oudet

I have not tried sandblasting any of my bowls yet but have been thinking about doing so. I have mainly sandblasted limestone and glass.
