Hello all. I have been turning for a number of years and having seen change in the information available from the AAW I felt I was missing some good stuff by not checking out the forum. I am a member of the Lancaster Area Woodturners, Susquehanna Woodturners and Ornamental Turners International. Due to health issues I have had to cut back and sold a Jet mini and Nova DVR but kept a Stubby and a Lindow Rose Engine. I am really impressed with what is being shared through the forum and look forward to picking up many good tips and ideas.
 
That Lindow is quite the machine. I just met David Lindow at the OTI conference in Seattle. Nice guy!

Kind regards,
Rich
 
Welcome to the forum. I was in Lancaster last June as my grandson played ball with the Barnstormers. Beautiful country and enjoyed our time there. Don't know yet if he will be back there this coming season.
One good turn deserves another!
