Welcome Tony. Like you, I am somewhat new to turning, but I am also as new to woodworking in general. I could not get my husband out of the garage, so I joined him. I chose turning because I felt it would allow me more flexibility to demonistrate my artistic abilities....now if I could only find my artistic abilities, I could move forward. ;)

I've been turning for a little over a year and a half. Unfortunately, a large portion of that time, my lathe has been unavailable :( (it's a long story). I just picked up a little Wilton (as a stand in) and will be getting back into the swing of things. :D

Like you, I have learned a great deal from these folks at SMC! (although I give my husband a lot of credit too) They are a warm welcoming bunch and never shy of adding their two cents. I do warn you about the picture police. (I have yet to post a picture, but then I haven't been set up to do so and do promise in the near future.....) The folks here really know how to boost your moral! Then again, the work I've seen has been outstanding....some even remarkable!

Again, welcome and hope you enjoy your stay! :)

Welcome to the Creek Tony and remember... read everything I have to write, and then pretty much go in the opposite direction. The rest of the group however, are a great bunch of help and knowledge.
