Hello everyone, just a quick note to introduce myself. I've joined the forum as I have just purchased an old record power wood turning lathe that I've been eyeing up for some time. I love working with wood, making bits of (very amateur) furniture for our house, along with a small picture framing workshop I've been using for a few years now. I'm hoping to start turning a few ornaments soon, and hopefully moving on to making bowls in the future.
I'd love to hear any advice people can give for someone just starting out, and would also like to know where people get there hardwood from (I've seen the thread on the main page, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the South Yorkshire area).
I'm a 50 year old bloke who works mainly as a construction site manager, married with kids, and enjoys getting out in the countryside on walks with the dog, and also a little bit of indoor bouldering.
Looking forward to joining in and being part of the community.
Thanks
Chris
