Hello from Snellville GA

[Wade3574]

Just got started turning about 3 weeks ago with my DIL's Grandfather. He is going thru some health issues and used to turn pens. I do a lot of woodworking and thought I could have him show me some stuff and provide a distraction for him.
Long story short, I got hooked and he is having a great time and so am I.
I purchased a used Jet 1014 lathe and the guy threw in some tools and a few burl blanks here are some of my first creations. First one is a piece of walnut that I had in the shop. Second is one of the burl blanks that I got with the lathe. Third is the off cut from the burl blank with some walnut from a gun stock for the band's and fourth is a salted maple that I picked up at woodcraft who had a bin selling for $1.50 per pound.

Welcome Wade. You are off to a good start, and it's great that you have a tutor on hand. Very useful, and he's probably getting as much out of the experience as you are.

Interestingly, the better one gets, the less perfect one finds their work. It is the great paradox of "mastering" a skill. Enjoy!
