Hello from the suburbs of Philadelphia.

I've been reading along for a little while and decided to join. What a knowledgable bunch of people with a tremendous amount of information is available here.

I've only been turning for a few months now. I took an intro course at WoodCraft and got the fever! I've got a Jet mini and a set of HF chisels to practice on and ruin before spending the big $$ on a set of Sorby's:):)[:p].

I haven't graduated past the slimline pens yet, but hope to try some different styles as soon as I can. So far, it's a nice hobby that I enjoy and wish I had more time to devote to.

My latest adventure is playing around with a stack of Corian I scored!

Anyway, I look forward to participating and learning from the folks on here-thanks!

Welcome Aboard! Keep an eye out for CLEWLESS's posts re: Bubbasville in Maryland. They're on the northern Eastern Shore, not far from Philly. We get togather and swap ideas, stories, rants, etc...good time to be had by all.

Hi Karl, yes that's where I went and I go there occasionally to restock some of my supplies (although I've been shopping around a lot to save a few $$).

Hi Eric, I've been shopping with PSi online, but haven't been to their store yet.
 
Another PA type, always a great thing! Good to see some real Americans showing up on the boards! *ducks*

We'll ignore the fact that you're from Philly. At least you got the state right! hehe

I'm set up the same way you are, Jet mini (from Woodcraft in Downingtown) and the cheapo tools from HF. So far, so good. I wonder if the more expensive tools are really better. I do tend to spend a lot of time sharpening and honing. hmm.
