Hi,
Am a retired Chippie just started pen turning, have done a small amount of turning many years ago, not got a wood lathe but i have got a 7x14 chinese metal lathe, bought the wood turning attachment. what a joke that was, took two hours to grind it down with a dremel just to get it into the tool holder and the rest was then 1 3/4 inch below centre so then bought a sorby 6" rest and post which had to be turned down to fit. But the pens i have turned are not half bad so will see how things go and maybe, just maybe i will get a Jet 1014 as a xmas pressie to myself. I only have a small flat so the jet is a still a bit big, but from my research anything less seems not up to standard.
I have joined this forum because we dont seem to have anything as good in the UK, even the Ausies have better forums than us.
Anyway thats how i ended up here and from what i have seen so far i have landed on my feet.

laters

welcome from Portsmouth, VA. glad to have you aboard. by the way, when you get into turning more t hat metal lathe may come in handy.
 
Hey there from Round Rock, TX. No decent fish and chips around here. The last good fish and chips I had was in Kearny, NJ about 20 years ago at the Thistle restaurant.
 
Welcome aboard, it's really not as expensive as some say, why just last week I had enough money left over after buying supplies that I bought a whole loaf of used bread, actually not used just a few days old!!
