    Red face hi new here

    Hi im new to the board but ive been taking a look every now and then for a bit now so i thought id register.
    Im am an ex Woodturner from Master Woodturning in Ingleburn NSW, i did my apprenticeship there and was there for six years and turn things from spindals to telegraph poles (that sucked but good experience) etc. I did my TAFE at Lidcombe with George Hatsfield and i heard that that course doeasnt exist anymore, what a pity.
    Anyways just thought id tell you a little bit about myself and hope i can help in some way while im here.
    I dont have a lathe at the moment but id love one so i could do some stuff in my spare time, i kinda miss turning except when i had to do 500 bed posts etc.

    G'day Mr. Unknow.

    How long ago did you do your TAFE with George?

    I've met George at a couple of Proserpine turnouts, nice bloke.

    That must have been one hell of a big bed.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    When you get to George's age, you might understand why he wanted you to wear the glasses & you might understand that you get sick of having to repeat yourself.

    Interesting aside is that he wears glasses & the TAFE wanted him to wear extra protection over the top of his glasses & it made it very hard for him to see what he was doing.
