Hello fellow members
Living in Minnesota it’s good to have a hobby for the winter and woodworking has always been mine. I owned a cheap lathe for probably 25 years and only used it occasionally to make spindles for furniture and such. About seven years ago, I decided I should learn more about turning and went on YouTube and was amazed. That started me on my woodturning journey. I have learned a lot but I am student of the craft and always trying to learn more and improve. Woodturning has become a passion. I always love looking at all the great stuff on the members photo gallery.
