Hi all
Much as I love the challenge of scrolling and trying out new ideas now I've finally dropped into retirement I've been looking for something in the craft woodworking field which which I could be more productive in such that I could possibly make a little bit of pocket money out of my work..
For a long time I've been itching to have a go at turning bowls and boxes and finally last week I bit the bullet and ordered a Delta Industrial 46-460 Midi lathe along with a ruck of accessories to get me started on this new venture. Hopefully this will arrive to my home within the coming fortnight.
They say that you can't teach old dogs new tricks but as I've never prescribed to that piece of wisdom I'm out to prove it wrong.
I know of at least one forum member who is a very capable woodturner and I've already been leaning on him for some tips - thanks Rhys.
I'm curious to know who else of our forum members has dabbled in woodturning.
Be careful in admitting to this because you will likely be leaving yourself open to a barrage of questions from yours truly.
Cheers!
