    Hi folks. Just introducing myself, have just signed up after lurking for the past few months. Looking forward to picking every bodies brains for hints and tips. Main interest is woodturning.

    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.

    G'day TePe - welcome aboard - you're in the right place, lots of useful sorts lurking around here always willing to lend a hand.

    I've have learnt loads by hanging out here.
    Cheers,

    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/v...ic.php?t=15866

    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.

    Yeah, welcome aboard Tepe.

    Love the avatar pic... one of yours?

    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.
    all the best
