I’ve been turning for 30 years, although only doing so every few years.
I inherited an old Rockwell 46-111 which I last used 6 years ago to make a set of shakers for my son. Last week I attempted to start another project and found the headstock bearings almost completely frozen. Hopefully next week it’ll be working again.
I mostly make lamps, candle sticks, bottle stoppers, and shakers.

Welcome to the forum Peter. Look around and you may want to start turning every day.

 

[John Torchick]

Welcome. It can evolve into a daily routine.

Welcome aboard, Peter.

Cool shakers. Would like to see some of your lamps.

Welcome.
If you haven’t already done so, I suggest you check out the local AAW chapters in your area.
Great place to pick up new tricks and share what you have learned.

Nice work! Welcome to the forum!

Too funny. I came across this intro posting and it needs updating.
I now am turning almost daily, mostly bowls except closer to holidays I make stuff for the grandkids. Truly a wonderful addiction.
