Good on you Joash!!!

It's wonderful to see a young bloke seriously bitten by the woodturning bug.

I've been absolutely obsessed by woodturning since the first day I got on a lathe back at school in Year 8. That would have been when I was about 14 I figure. I still remember the exact time, which lathe I was on, who showed me the ropes etc.

Most people wouldn't get it, but I know all the turners here would. Once you fall in love with a lathe, you're bitten for life!!!

Mate, you get there, and turn your heart out! If anyone has negative comments, just PM me their details and I'll hand deliver a bunch of shut the .... up !!!!

Keep the passion alive. It's great to see! There's worth things in life to get addicted to (though sometimes my wife wonders.....)

Have fun matey!
I went to the Brisbane show for the first time this year, and had a ball!
Went on the last day, as i live a fair way from Brizzy, but came away with a ripper lathe and chuck and bits and peices at good prices. The best part of it was the demo's, and you are going to be doing that!! Congratulations, and I reckon you will love it. I really enjoyed talking to all the old timers, who are top nothch woodworkers. If you get a chance, check out the woodturners clubs. They usually have some felas turning as well. Enjoy!:)

Congratulation Joash... if you dig in or the wood flys off don't worry that turning. Just keep going on. As for stage fright you just talk to your wood and ignore the onlookers, if you get worried ...and have a blast. YOu did great ot even get picked so don't worry about the what if. Relish in the fact that you were chosen. Great effort and have fun.

Congratulations.

I hope other kids see you and get inspired to try themselves.

And if you get a catch or dig, you blithely say 'now I did that on purpose to show you all how not to hold the tool' :D
