My name is Milton Hochstetler, I've been watching woodturning on youtube for several years now, and finally bought a 12"harbor freight lathe last summer and got started doing some bowl turning. I've made about a dozen bowls since then, I did one that was segmented and it turned out OK.
I'm living on a rental property, so I'm pretty limited to my shop space... the space I'm using has a dirt floor and no ceiling or insulation, so it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

I'm new to AAW, and look forward to learning from others that have more experience than what I do.
Also, if there is anyone on here from northern Indiana, I would enjoy meeting up them in person.

Here are some pics of what I've made...
