Hi All

Just joined the forum thanks to a chance meeting with Jim in Warrington to day.

I have just started my wood turning journey recently joined Wigan Woodcrafts which has been helpful in finding ones feet so to speak.
My lathe is an old Vicmarc VM100 is nice and small and runs beautifully having had a recent birthday I have now collected most of the basic tools to get started Chisels, sharpening gear and now some basic penkits and supplies will be action stations here.

Will be making a start in the garage tomorrow cannot wait o it is tomorrow correction will be today LOL

Anyway enough from me I'am sure I will have lots of noob questions to ask so stand by.

Regards

Mark

Are we so short of members, you feel the need to solicit on the streets of Warrington? I can put out a few flyers if you like:whistling::funny:
