Hello from Texas,

The turning bug bit me a few months ago after my husband assembled a delta mini lathe we received in a trade. My husband loves to to turn too...I'm thinking we need a second lathe.LOL.

All of the work I have seen in your pics are beautiful. I hope that one day I can perfect this craft; I am looking forward to reading your posts...gleaning info. and applying what I learn.

Glad to be here and thank you for putting this forum together; I have learned much already.

Hi Terry. Welcome from sunny southern California. You're in luck . . . there are a few Local Chapter groups in TX. There is a link to "Local Chapter"s on top of the home page.

And here are a few links to get you going.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

If I can ever get some photos of my work, BEFORE I give them away, I will post some. I'm bad about finishing something up right before I give it as a gift and then it's too late for pics. :frown:
