Hello all. I am new to AAW but have been turning for some time. I hope to gather some knowledge from others here on this forum. I have learned so much on sites such as these and it amazes me when I see so many people willing to help a total stranger. I hope I will be able to help others.

Hi mike,
Always a pleasure to meet another turner.
If you have not visited a local chapter of the AAW, I encourage you to find one near you. Local chapters provide a face to face sharing that most members find extremely valuable on many levels.
Have fun be safe,
Al
