Wood.... I've heard of it. You solder it with a hammer and nails.... right?

"Chips are chips and turning is turning."

I learned how to turn on my dads lathe when I was 10
Nothing like turning wood sometimes. Never know when you need a set of nested bubinga bowls.

Enjoy

Wood turning is just plain fun. Just gouge the wood with serendipity and see where it leads you. I used to enjoy the different smells that would fill the shop as I turned different exotic hardwoods. I think I managed to turn about every type of wood there is. At least it seemed like it.

I have done a lot of wood turning in the past .and I belive there is no geter machine than a Woodfast.
Great choice,

Very nice indeed, and what you learn about turning on that can be put to good use on a metal lathe, hand turning with a graver all those nice decorative bits.
