G'day from WA
Hi Everyone,
My name is Rob. I am a qualified carpenter and have worked with wood all my life. however I am very new to turning and I have to say I am loving it. I am currently farming in regional WA and during the quiet seasons I really enjoy turning bowls and candlesticks in my down time. I have to admit this is the first online forum I have ever joned and am very much looking forward to exchanging support, knowledge and ideas with everybody.
Hi Everyone
Rob

Welcome Rob,
i agree turning is fun and can even be addictive. I have to control myself because I also have a metal work lathe and that is just as addictive.
Being a bit more specific about your location can be handy - ou might have a nearby member who can help or you can help them.

G'day Rob
G'day Rob,
I recently joined too so just getting used to it.
I have been doing a bit of wood turning (not a lot)
also have tried box making on my saw bench .
I have made tables etc also a ships wheel and a wagon wheel.
It gets you like a virus.
I might have to get rid of my sawbench soon as we are downsizing.
B.R.
