I live in Lake Point Utah and just getting into turning. I have built 3 paddle boards and I'm working on my second mahogany boat but have never turned. We spend the winters in southern Mexico and I found a ton of videos on You Tube. I ordered a lathe and it arrived this morning, a Jet 1221VS. Looking forward to getting my shop ready and start turning. I joined AAW and I'm signed up for a class next month on spindle turning.
