New turner from Toronto, Ontario.

Hi all. I've been visiting your site so often since I started turning pens that I felt I had to join - such a lot of expertise and such great tips and advice!
I'm a retired teacher who has just started turning (on my dad's old Shopsmith, circa 1984), and have got to the point where I want to try some of the variations I see here - Celtic crosses, scallops, etc. Also realize I need to make some jigs before I can be really accurate in my cutting. Thanks to your contributors, I have some ideas for that, too.

Welcome, Paul! Good to have you here! I'm in Toronto too, and a member of the Toronto Woodturners Guild. Check us out- there are some excellent turners and a good number of penspinners, too.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. So nice to hear from so many different locations, including someone next door wood-of-1kind. Katya, I've heard of the woodturners' guild from my local Lee Valley guy. Where do you meet? (just in case my work ever gets good enough to show!) Re the segmenting jig - I'm trying to come up with something that can be used to make scallops, Celtic crosses and slice thin inserts, AND is adjustable to 30, 45 or 60°. May not be feasable to do all in one jig...

The TWG meets at Humber College once (usually) a month with the exception of the summer months.
