Hello all,
My name is Joe Atkinson and I’ve been turning for 20+ years although maybe 10 in earnest and mainly as a hobby. I focus mostly on utilitarian objects such as bowls, boxes, candlesticks, craft items etc. Although I originally planned to make turning a major part of my retirement, that changed once I realized how time consuming retirement can be, but I still enjoy the time I spend at the lathe. I'm hoping that the forum will allow me to avoid reinventing the wheel when I'm looking for solutions to various problems.
