From a fellow new turners point of view, we need all the help we can get. I joined a club to try & learn, & I had about 3 clubs to choose from within about 40mins from home, but not everybody lives in the city & not everybody has this option.
I learnt heaps from this thread, & I'm prolly not the only one.
You copt a few Harsh comments I thought, well meaning but a bit short on the delivery. You had a lot of good ones as well.
This forum is just like any other large group, you will find the same types of people here as in a fishing club or a front bar.
Most will be pretty easy going, some, not so much & there will always be some who don't share your point of view.
I been here for years mate, generally speaking, they are a friendly & helpful lot, but heres the thing. One day, you might be the only person that knows the solution to my problem.
SteveThe fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

Steve,
The last sentence in my post was definately tongue-in-cheek, but I forgot to put a smiley at the end.
Thanks for the rest of your comments - I think you have neatly summed up the state of play.
I will post again when I see the need. (Or want to lose some skin
)
Alister.

One thing I would recommend to any turner is to get a much wider exposure to turning techniques and work holding methods. I'm a firm believer that no matter how good you think you are or no matter how inexperienced another turner is there is always something new to learn or something share.
Good luck with your turning odyssey and please stay safe.
