Hi all!

I am Scott from Loveland, Co. I got my first lathe (Jet 1221) for Christmas 8 months ago. Loved every second turning on it, was able to find a screaming deal on a Jet 1640 so made the upgrade a few weeks ago. I am still a beginner, but getting better by the day. (Now if I can just stop getting catches when scraping with my swept-back bowl gouge!)

I live 1/4 mile from the county recycle center (where everyone drops off their wood) so I have a close and nearly endless supply of turning stock, which is great. Here are a couple of pics of things I have turned. I look forward to learning from the community here!

Hi Scott. Welcome to the forum! I really like that apple bowl a lot.

By the way, that Jet 1640 is a great lathe and will serve you well for a long time. I had one and sold it because at the time it didn't seem like I'd be able to turn anymore. Anyway, enjoy your turning and welcome aboard

Scott, Welcome to the forums! Nice work you have shared! Keep up the great works and look forward to seeing what you create next.

At the risk of asking the obvious, are you aware of the Rocky Mountain Woodturning Symposium in Loveland 9/19-21? I doubt that there are many better next steps in your woodturning journey than attending this event.
