Hi Team,

I have been lurking for a while and have bought a few things off the marketplace and I think the time has come to introduce myself.

I live in Postmans Ridge near Toowoomba and I am currently a mostly stay at home dad. I have started doing some woodwork in the shed while my son is asleep as a way of staying sane and I am having a great time. So far I have mostly been making trinkets and toys for wife and bub and I plan on working my way up to some furniture to replace some temporary stuff we have in the house. I seem to enjoy cutting things out on the scroll saw much more than I thought I would. I have a lathe still in its wrapping because when ever I get free time I choose to cut out a pattern instead of setting it up.

Anyway, pleased to meet you all, how do you do?

Hey,

Welcome to forums .....................

Unwrap the lathe ................... good discussions and advice available in wood turning forum

I was quite surprised at how much I enjoy using my lathe - didnt expect it to be so interesting.

Even simple things like spinningtops from scrapwood can be quite satisfying.
