Hi and thanks for accepting me!
I’m from Ireland live in Sligo. I’ve only been turning for a few months..I used to “help “ my dad turn by being the engine for his dads treadle lathe... until dad put a motor on it! That was about 50 years ago . I have a Charnwood W813 and it does me fine. I have loads to learn. I find the forum great, the AAW books and videos are excellent.
Thanks again
Viv
