Just saying Hi and to introduce myself. I have been interested in turning for awhile now and have just started to get things together to start. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Welcome from Texas! Best tip I have has already been taken a few times - read everything in the library and turn a bunch of pens. There are even good articles on what equipment to start with.
If you are in the Memphis area or close & sInce you are new to turning, may I recommend you contact the Mid-South Woodturners Guild. You can google the name they do have a web site. This group is in the Memphis area and has a great mentor program.
