Hello everybody, my name is Matt, I'm 43 and I am in central NC. I'm on disability from a motorcycle accident back in '05. Brand new turner, just picked up a used HF10x33. Practicing between centers on a wet maple limb and learning to use the tools. Now just starting the long journey of accumulating the other stuff I need (chucks, face plates, drill chucks etc.) I absolutely love this, seeing your creation evolve from a rough chunk of wood into a smooth round form.
