Hi all, I am a newbie turner. I have enjoyed woodworking as a hobby for well over 40 years and have always had a fascination with woodturning. I have been reading/researching/watching videos etc for well over a year on turning. I recently bought my first lathe, a used PW 3520b. Yes, I know I did not go through the right of passage to start small and work my way up, but I liked the advise I read on a lot of forums, to buy your second lathe first. I have joined a local club and have been to two of their meetings and will be contacting one of the mentors to help me get going on this new venture into woodworking. I also joined AAW this week. I feel like a sponge at the moment and I know my learning curve is pretty much vertical but I am excited to start making shavings. Thank you in advance for your wisdom and advice as I am sure I will need it.
