Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself to this form. My name is Jeff Brody. I'm a retired communications professional (35 years in daily journalist, six years in community relations) and have been woodturning since December 2012, after having been a hobbyist woodworker for many years before that. I am a member of AAW and of the Olympic Peninsula Chapter of AAW here in Washington state. I attended one national AAW symposium a couple years ago in Pittsburgh and other than a course in beginning bowl turning from Bonnie Klein in 2013, am pretty much self-taught. I do mostly bowl turning but have done some pens, pepper mills, bottle stoppers and other projects. I enjoy sharing and receiving tips and hope I can be a contributing member of this forum.

Regards,
Jeff
