Hello all. I've been an amateur woodworker since working with my father as a child and have always dabbled in trying to fix or improve on any wooden item. However, I'm a complete novice to turning. I've recently purchased a 2nd hand Laguna Revo 1836, have it setup and tuned, and have a rag-tag collection of tools that came with it including a Nova chuck. Have just upgraded my chainsaw and spent the last 2 late afternoons cutting up some downed oak, black cherry, catalpa, and maple at a friend's home. Just finished Arborsealing the ends and stacking it today. Now have to get busy and learn how to turn! Luckily I'm retiring in 3 months so should have more time for practice. I look forward to leaning on all your experience.
