Hi,

My name is Alan, originally from Sheffield but recently decided it was a good time to retire early ( 54 ) :thumbs:
Used to do a bit of woodturning a few years ago but due to work I have not done any for approx 5+years but all that is going to change and woodturning will be my winter hobby with the odd turning session through the summer :wink:
I am sure I will find things to inspire me on here, plenty of info to sift through :winking:

Welcome Alan, I guess your summer projects will be knitting jumpers for the winter up there :funny:

Cheers for the warm welcome guys :thumbs:

Winters seem to be milder up here than in South Yorkshire :tongue:

Plenty of logs collected and dried already :banana:

If it's a mad house I should fit in quite nicely :whistling:

Oh no, there are some miserable bastards here as well, a few watching the forum in silence rotting quietly, and a fair bunch of loonies as well. Speaking of which theres a nutcase down the road from you who escaped from Yorkshire, got as far as Lesmahagow. Where is Stephen??
