Entering the turning world after 63 years.
Came across a neglected 1985 shopsmith lathe in a garage clean out. Spent about 10 hrs going slowly getting everything back up to snuff, cleaned lubed, adjusted.
Got the bandsaw, router, drum sander,
She runs good so now off to learning to turn wood. What to get into wood and resin turning as well.
So here to learn all I can
