Hello, I am a musical instrument maker who learned to turn wood at the Glendale Woodturners Assoc. a few years back. That group of people were very kind, informative and helpful in teaching me how to use a lathe. I later bought a Woodfast bowl turning lathe and was off to make my musical instruments such as shakers and slit drums.

It is now some years since I was making instruments professionally. I am still interested in woodworking and lathe turning. I live in So. Cal.
