Good morning to everyone
My name is Jim, I've just recently got bitten by the woodturning bug.
'Tis a long and winding story of how I got here, but here goes.
Was watching Norm Abram turn a Banksia pod on one episode of NYW, I'd seen him turn some stuff before, but this one really caught my eye. Then I changed jobs (same job, different school district - computer tech) and was doing some work in the CAD lab, which is overseen by the woodshop teacher, who has several mini lathes in his shop. I'd stay a little bit after work and mess around a few times, but now am interested in turning shave brush handles, mainly as a hobby, and ended up somehow following Anthony, aka PenWorks over here...I was actually doing a Google search for "Penworks", trying to find a post he made on badgerandblade.com, where I'm also a member, and ended up here.
Short story shorter, I'm looking forward to learning all I can here; like I said, this is going to be more of a free time hobby than anything else, so I'm sure I'll mostly be contributing questions, so please bear with me as a complete rookie.
Thanks!
