Besides pen turning, do you do a fair amount of woodworking?
I have noticed over the course of a year that several quality pen turners are not woodworkers and occasionally ask woodworking questions and techniques, or questions about basic woodworking tools - table saws, band saws, routers etc. I have been very surprised by this since these fellows do so well in bringing the beauty of the wood out in making their pens. I had just assumed that these mastercraftsmen of pens were masters of woodworking too!
Because of this, I am just curious how many have some woodworking expereince and how many have not. By woodworking, I mean basic framing, carpentry, cabinetry or furniture making, either as livelyhood or as a hobby.
