Hi! I am relatively new to turning, about a year in. I have been woodworking for many years, however. Last April, I was fortunate enough to get a Powermatic PM3520 and a ton of accessories from an estate sale, so I was able to hit the ground running. I like both the quick projects and the longer rough-turn-wait-wait-finish-turn projects. I have a YouTube channel where I occasionally post over-produced woodworking videos (www.thegraindoctor.com), and I am on Instagram under the same name (http://www.instagram.com/thegraindoctor).

I look forward to interacting with everyone here!

Nick
