G'day from new member.

[orificiam]

G'day everyone my name is Tony and I am new here. I've been looking at this forum for
about a year now, Ive picked up a lot of useful information along the way and I want to thank all members for their contributions. I've been turning for about seven years now
mainly as a hobby and I must say I was hooked from the very first turn,my favourite wood for turning is "olive wood" when I can get it, with it's tight grain hardly any dust and the shed smells like a salad for weeks after that.
That' about it for now.apart for a big thanks to Neil for helping me to login as I was having a bit of troubles geting started.
Cheers, Tony.

Hi Tony, welcome.
Turning for 7 years means that you are an experienced turner.
Like it to see some of your work, not me alone, we all like that.
Have fun.

Thanks you Ad I will post some photos as soon as I learn how to.
I'm afraid I'm not very computer savvy.
By the way Ad I''ve seen some of your turnings and they look great.
cheers,Tony

Now all that's needed is some wood that smells like steak, another that smells like chips, and definitely one that smells like beer!

Welcome Tony.

Welcome to the place my SWMBO says I spend too much time - Come to think of it I think she says she's a shed widow as well
and show us your work

[orificiam]

Thanks for the welcome Guys,
yes my missus reckons she's a wood widow as well.But she does enjoy the odd
lidded box, and jewellery box and well you know how it goes she always gets first pick.
By the way when ever I need a new tool or machine that I really need I do
invite her to the w.w.w. show and when I see the tool or machine I'm looking for
I hang arround it for a while until she bends my arm so hard that I give in and go home
a very happy chap. Anyway back to turning.
cheers. Tony.

Welcome Tony.

I have one that smells like dog ???? - is that any help???? A backyard barby just wouldn't be complete without someone steppin' in a big pile of purified Pal

Welcome, Tony. Seven years? That's great! Now we need to pick your brain a little.
