Ive been lurking for a while and just wanted to say HI

I only just started turning in December and I'm loving every minute I'm on my lathe. In fact all I want to do is turn and all I think about is turning.

Well just wanted to break the ice. I hope to get to now everybody and learn as much as I can from all you sharpies out there.

Great site.

Thanks,
Mike
