New to the Creek

[Jim Phipps]

Hi, I've been benefitting from reading your forum for awhile now so I thought I'd say hi and maybe offer my perspective now and again. First, thanks for the help and inspiration you've already given me. I've been turning for 2.5 years and have done little else in that time. I've upgraded my lathe, my shop, my tools and am fully surrendered to the almighty vortex.
I turn bowls and hollow forms and just started selling this spring. Hopefully I'll make something worth showing ya'll in the near future. Until then, thanks for letting me be a part of the forum.

Welcome from a fellow Texan. I hope you are going to SWAT this year. It is a heck of a good time. If so just stop me and say hi.
