I joined a few months ago, but as they say life happens so it's taken me until now to get my first post up.
I am a 50 year old Navy veteran from southeastern, Ohio. I started turning last September after buying my first lathe. It's a Rikon 70-220, overall it's been a good investment even though I've had to replace the control box, and speed sensor. Rikon tech support was some of the best I've ever seen. I have mainly turned pens, along with a few 6" and smaller bowls here and there.
I am here looking for advice on improving my CA finish, and to learn more about the advantages of HSS vs. Carbide tools, along with just about anything else I can pick up along the way.
My other passion is my 1997 Harley-Davidson Softail Custom, I am a member of a local riders group (not an m/c) to avoid future confusion. The groups name is The Revelatorz Benefit Riders. We have groups in three Ohio counties. Throught the year we host and support multiple charity benefit rides to help those in need in our area. If you're interested in learning more about what we do, please check out our website at Home
