Hello, I 'm happy to join the AAW since one year, I'm a French woodturner, I began woodturning fifty years ago, but as being a medicine doctor during 40 years, I did not really practiced, but always worked wood and metal. Being retired in 2010, I came back to woodturning every day 4 to 8 hours a day, member of two French woodturners associations. I got a great help from American woodturners' Youtube videos.
Sorry but I'm not sure to he in the good forum, and pleas excuse my bad English of
 
Its all good Jean-Louis, my school boy French is 'lamentablement insuffisant' :) . Welcome looking forward to see what you make.
 
J’étais médicin (chirugien) aussi mais j’ai pris ma retraite il y a 2 ans. Bienvenue!

Your English is great—mieux que mon français!

And your turnings are incroyable!
