Hello,
I'm Margaret in Arizona.
I've learned a lot from this site so I thought I should introduce myself.
A year ago, I had never operated a power tool. A friend took my 13 year old daughter to Rockler. My daughter came home and excitedly told me about the machine that spins wood and you can carve on it. She decided she really wanted to learn more about the lathe. She asked for one for Christmas.
Now my garage has been turned in to a shop and I am hooked on making pens.
I've learned to operate a lathe, a drill press, a band saw, as well as a hand drill, a jigsaw and a miter saw.
I attended the AAW symposium in June here in PHX and loved it.
I had to take a break during the hot months as my garage has no AC but am enjoying it now during the 'nice' weather. (it's Arizona)
I'm sure I will have many more questions so thanks in advance.
Margaret
