Welcome TePe,
great to have more international members IMHO,
Myself, I'm just starting woodturning- got lots to learn.
What about yourself- how long you been turning?
what you got, and what are you interested in making.
Hans.

Hi Hans, been turning for just over 10 years now. I use a Nova 3000 converted to variable speed by myself, and a Axminster M600 as a mobile lathe fitted with variable speed.
As to what I like making most things in turning, don't do much any other type of woodwork. Some examples of my work are on my thread in the UKwoodworking forum . Try this link for some of my bits. http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15866

Thanks Hans, Andy.
PS. Just tried to reply with a web address in my post, it looks as if it wouldn't upload. Is there a time limit before new members are allowed to post pics. and web addresses?
Not a time limit, but new member's posts with web links are moderated as a measure to keep spam off the forums.

Many thanks for the welcome people, this is the 2nd turning forum I have joined and am very impressed with the info being passed around.
Hi Skew, yes the avatar pic. is one of my bits. Link to a bigger photo of it is up this post a bit. It was made as a impromptu demo of off-centre turning at one of the turning clubs I go to.
