Hello, my name is Rob Leanza, and I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself as a new member and a little bit about my turning interests and history. I first became interested in turning when a colleague brought in an old Delta Homecraft lathe into work that he had no interest in using. After doing a little research I decided to take that old lathe apart, refinish it build a stand for it, and successfully turned my first bowl. That experience taught me that I needed to do more research, get a proper sharpening setup, a bigger lathe, and the basics of proper tooling.
Currently, my main interest is learning how to turn bowls and platters. I finally got myself set up this past summer in my garage and dipped my toes in the world of bowl turning. I haven’t been able to turn regularly, but I just finished another binge session of turning this past month. The pictures I’m posting are some of the examples of the pieces that I was able to attempt. Both my space and my lathe are hopefully temporary until I can make a dedicated space and upgrade to a variable-speed lathe.
I’m looking forward to being a member of AAW. Every time I ask a woodturning-related question, it seems an AAW forum link pops up with questions and answers that I’m looking for. So thank you for inviting me into the association!
