Hi everyone, my name is Ray and I live in north Nottinghamshire. I started turning a couple of months ago after going on a 2 day course with a professional turner and I was bitten with the turning bug. I turn pens, bowls and costume jewellery. My wife does pyrography so I make things for her to put designs onto.

I joined the forum a couple of weeks ago and I've been reading the posts with interest, learning useful things. I look forward to hopefully making friends and learning more. :D

Many thanks for the warm welcome. I've enjoyed reading the threads it's a good laugh :o I'll post some pics of my work in due course; I've yet to organise a proper setting to photograph items. So far I've been using my smartphone.

Hi Ray, welcome to the forum. Some say its a bit of a nut house but its not really that sane at all. :funny:

Its a great forum to be on and nobody is frightened to show whatever it is they've made and you always get an honest opinion, not ridicule. I look forward to seeing some of the pics of things you've made.

Welcome Ray, you won't find a more friendly and supportive forum, even though most of the guys on here are nut jobs :funny:
