I am new to the group I have been lurking for a while and I love the comments by most all here NOW! for those that "JUST GOTTA! JUST BECAUSE!" Go ahead get it over with FLame me get oit out of your system. I am not to keen on how my spelling or grammer looks I just type it out any way for me? well Who cares and if you do well WHO CARES? LOL Life will go on.
For the rest Hi all! I am Not real new to turning and I have a real desire to makeing things ROUND! Whether Wood! (my Favorite), Plastic! (Hmmm), or Metal (Fun but messy). I Have Nice litte (hmmm how do I say this after reading some previous post here Shop/Studio/Garage/Car-port/driveway/backyard/frontyard? it makes no difference as my shop is well enough equipt for most but I always need MORE TOOLS!, I do my own thing. I am retired at 53 and do what I want when I want, and SWMBO well she does her thing and I do Mine, and we get along okay till I get crazy and spend over $2000.00 on some small item she is not real aware of what it may or may not do. So goes life as it is. I also raise a few Cows, they like me I like them, some are good eaten too. I just posted a picture in the Alt bianary woodworkers area, and well I have a lot of wood from all over and I thought I grabbed a piece of Black walnut to turn on and What I got was NOT BLACK WALNUT! but something I do not know exactly waht it is Hard turniong stuff to say th e least Gatta have real SHARP TOOLS for it though. I usually do okay with Wood identy as I mark most every thing I get, but this one stumps me. If any of you go there, it is woddidenty and is a goblet I turned fr grins not the best I have done but was a challenge before I got done. yes I know I need lots of training yet but hey I have fun and to me thats what is important in life. Let me know what I got into. thanks on that issue. To all in the news group have a great day! it is nice to have any day considering the alternative.
