I just had a 24x30 shop built last Sep. This last Jan I told the wife that after 32.5 years I have had it at work and I needed to retire ! She told me OK but get the tools you want for your shop first. I have wanted to try turning so I got a nova lathe. Man what a mistake that was lol now all I want to do is play on the lathe.

So it looks like I will retire in Dec.

Looks like this site has a lot of great information and being new to truning I need all the information I can get.

Welcome Art. Lawton is south of Oklahoma City. Met my wife there 43 years ago. My favorite place when I was in the service.

Welcome to the IAP from somewhere south of Oklahoma City (San Antonio TX)!! :biggrin:
Congratulations on the retirement decision and now it sounds like you are on the way to a new form of "work" called happiness.
Shop space sounds enviable - hope you can fill the space with lots of nice tools. Good choice on the lathe.

I grew up in Lawton. If it was your favorite place while in the service, you must've been to some pretty horrible places :rotfl:
 
Welcome to the group. You've got the lathe and a shop. Sounds like you've got your retirement all planned out!
 
Where is somewhere south of Oklahoma City. That is an awful big territory. My grand parents live on a farm outside of Blanchard.
