Just a quick hello to everyone here. I just joined a minute ago and wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Mark, and I live in a small town outside of New Orleans down in the bayou country of south Louisiana. Home to about an equal distribution of Cajuns, alligators and gumbo recipes, Houma is my home since '91.
Strictly a hobbyist for the past 50 years, I've done cabinets, flipped a couple of houses, made chairs, tables and other furniture. So about 8 years ago I was bitten by the turning bug and never really looked back. Multiple hand surgeries have come to limit the size and scope of my work, and in the past year - since I've been able to get back in my shop - I've found that I'm really enjoying making pens and small boxes, vases and so on on my little lathe.
I'm retiring next year in June and can't wait to have lots more shop time!
