Hello everyone!!!
My name is Kevin - I live in South Carolina - United States
I will be turning the BIG 40 in April.:C
As for my occupation.....I am currently disabled - I was a Professional Chef until degenerative Disc Disease got the best of me - Basically at the age of 30 I had the spine condition of an 80+ year.
4 Major operations later I have lot of metal plates, cages, screws and rods holding me up. Hoping and trying to put of the 5th surgery for as long as I can stand it. As painful the condition is 24/7 - recovery is really tuff.
Anyway enough about my sad story!
I joined your group in the hopes of participating in your pen swap...That sounds like FUN.
However When I heard about it and click over to sign up it required that I join the forum...
No problem right?
Well I did not gain access to replying or posting to your forum until the morning of the 26th
I day late and $2.00 short (The saying used to be $1 but the economy has forced a change)...LOL
Anyway - Still super glad I joined and look forward to the great information discussed.
As for turning I am a member of the AAW and my local chapter “Carolina Mountain Woodturners”
Check out the website if you like – We are one of the top chapters in the nation.
There is a monthly speaker and gallery posted – sometimes you will see a few of my pieces in the gallery.
I started turning with the basic spindle class that went into a bowl class – Mostly turned pens in the beginning and now I try to turn just about anything my mid size Jet 1220 will allow me too.
I am currently “trying” to learn how to cast clear and colored acrylics – I am interested in making the clear casting with decals, stickers, snake skin, assorted leathers, feathers and anything else I can think of.
I would love to trade turning stock or be interested in purchasing any of your native materials – Tanned snake skins from Australia would be great to work with.
Nice to be a part of your group
I look forward to being involved.
One Question?
Is there any chance that someone would like to swap a pen with me?
