Good morning folks,just want to check into this GREAT site.The old is me in years and the new is me in penturning!Before I get into the (I gotta know stuff) allow me to ramble a little (Old folks are suppose to ramble) I retired from US Navy and moved to Al. on lovely Lake Martin north of Montgomery.I home built and remodeled for about 30 yrs. until shoulder problems and laziness shut me down.Several weeks ago I received a catalog on penturning from PennState I think they have come before but had always chunked them.but for whatever reason I looked at this one.Long story short My lathe is due tomorrow.I have turned a few bowls and small stuff years ago so I'm a little aware of what to expect,but the info I've gotten online here has been great.I'm almost through rambling. Excuse the long post with no paragraphs,I don't know how to do fancy 'puter' stuff,matter of fact about all I do know about is how to spend money on Ebay & Amazon and how to goggle a little. 1.Is all brands of CA equal?ebay has a million. 2.Does CA and poly have shelf life limits after opening,or should they be bought in smaller amounts?I won't be making huge numbers of things.3.Any ideas on using wood that has been under water for many many years(other than drying it!)I gots lots more Gotta knows, but I'll stop for now,My typing finger is getting numb.Thanks again for great info. pap
