Greetings folks, brand new here and brand new to turning, well turning wood anyway as I have a metal lathe.
I've been wanting to try turning to add to my repertoire of skills. I have a full shop in a tiny space, jam packed with tools and machines.
Picked up Rikon midi lathe a few weeks back and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a stand so that I can get it set up.
No shop pics at this point as it's a complete disaster.
I live on Vancouver Island and I'm keen to try turning some of our local woods such as Arbutus (Madrone) and Garry Oak.
Happy to be here and eager to learn!
