I guess you can say i am a rough splinter at wood turning, coming from an engineering background all my cutting tools were firmly bolted down.
To me holding the tool bit AND turning was a recipe for an accident lol. Well i made a leap of faith in that you don't hear of many cases of injured wood turners, i bought a small Record lathe, a DML24X for the princely sum of £30.00.
I have made my first pen blanks (without a visit to the hospital), they are walnut and about to put a finish on them.
I have to say that i enjoyed what little i have done hence being here. I will be making posts and picking your brains no so be aware.
Enough ramblings and on.........................
