Introduction

[Mark Hazelden]

Hi Folks,

I have been lurking for awhile and decided to come out of the woods.

Just started turning wood a few months ago and am having a ball. Currently own a Jet 1014VS with hopes of upgrading.

This seems to be a very friendly and active group and I look forward to continue learning and sharing my experiences. I live just down the road from the John Campbell Folk School so be sure let me know if any of you are going to be in the area for a class.

When I am not turning on my lathe, I can be found building an airplane.

Have a great week,

Mark

Welcome aboard Mark, very good teachers and pupils here. Yes, definitely a friendly & active forum, unlimited learning opportunities and awesome people.

Welcome to SMC. Lots of good people and lots of knowledge. Like to see pictures of the plane you are building. I worked for the FAA for 26 yrs and retired the end of December.

Welcome to the Creek Mark!
In between posting pics of turnings how about a few of the plane build.

Mark you will not regret joining.

You will learn a lot lurking, but not nearly as much as you will participating.
