A not so newby turner.
I have been turning for around six years here in the UK.
Started when I helped clear my son-in-law's, father's workshop.
We knew he made wonderful rocking horses, what we didn't know was that he also turned wood.
He had a Turnstyler Lathe - quite old but quite advanced for its time.
Solid lathe which served me well for about four years until I upgraded to something with a little more room over the bed.
Been a little while since I turned much as I have a Dunkirk Little Ship I am restoring. She went to Dunkirk in 1940 to help evacuate British and French troops.
Watched the virtual seminar and loved it.
Was hoping to get to Chattanooga this year but now looks doubtful, maybe next year.
Member of three Woodturning Clubs here in the UK. Helped one club set up one of the first IRDs here in the UK to watch Cindy Drozda.
Watched a lot of the WIT presentations by AAW - loved the explanations of how people started and their approach to design, etc.
Love challenging projects. Fascinated by the things folks like Mike Hoseluk, Michael Foster and Alain Mailland do.
Looking forward to learning more through the forum.
Cheers
Keith
