Been reading a lot of great stories and info on this forum.
I think it's fantastic that everyone is so helpful and willing to share knowledge and expiriences.
I have just started out turning and am well and truly addicted, it's vitually all i think about now........... especially when I'm stuck in the office at work.
Really looking forward to going to my first Turnfest in a couple of weeks!
and the Maleny Wood festival and the Brisbane Working with Wood shows, they are a great opportunity to meet fellow woodys and get some great timber to add to the collection.
I have three bedrooms and 2 sheds full of timber (my girlfriend and family think I might have a problem with collecting wood)
I would like to have a go at some big vases, Has anyone had a crack at vases close to a meter in height, what did you use to hollow them out?
I have a vl300 vicmarc wth the long bed extension I bought from a really nice ol bloke Vincet who couldn't turn anymore. I felt sad buying it off him as he watched me leave with it.
It has given me so much joy though turning away on the weekends, it's a great chance to forget about all the worries and stress.
Just put some pictures up on the gallery under woodnut damo, be intrested to know what others think.
All the best to you all
