Hello from central Ohio

[Pendawg]

I'm new to turning but have an 18 year background in cabinet making and store fixture manufacturing. I changed careers about 12 years ago and miss the smell of wood dust and given my limited space, I thought turning would give me a chance to get back into something creative. I have considered pen turning for several years and finally gave in after visiting the Columbus Woodworking Show and spending some time with Berry Gross. I now have everything to get started except the weather as my shop is in my cold garage. I look forward to learning from the fine craftsman (and women) on this site and am very impressed with much of the work I've seen here. Can't wait to embed my first blank into the ceiling of my garage!:wink:
