I'm finally giving in to my curiosity about turning and am picking up a midi-lathe and a good set of tools in a few days. Would like to network with turners in SE Wisconsin. It seems like the closest club is a bit out of comfortable driving range. I can be reached at lawrence dot r dot tarnoff at gmail dot com.
Any turners in Racine, WI?

Same here in south Georgia. Why don'tcha move down here away from all the cow poop and we could start our very own club.
Not surprising, many non-urban areas have few clubs
Of course you could start one... A guy I know moved to a town in Montana where the closest club was 200 miles away, so he started a club. They have about 25 members now
I don't think I could take the gnats, although if you're near the coast I might reconsider.
Strange thing about the gnats. When I was growing up here they were a fact of life. When we moved back here in '99 there were no gnats and the young people did not know what they were. Last year they returned. Must be the global swarming.
Hey there. I am in Racine , and I started segmented woodturning about 6 mon ths ago. I also started single piece bowl / box +lid turning as well. Maybe starting a club is a good idea if we can find more turners in the area. My name is John. I can be reached at snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com
