    Default G'day, mates

    I am from the United States in the state of Iowa. I live on a small farm do not grow anything but, Blackwalnuts and Mulberry and several trees.
    I retired from the Military after 25 years and have been all over the world. I finally retired due to being in 2 bombings in the Middle East and now work a lathe in a wheelchair.
    If ever anyone is interested is swapping wood I could do that. I could have blanks of BlackWalnut 16" to 24" and in any thickness. Mulberry is a smaller tree, however, I just mail a chunk off that was 18"w x 24"L.
    Thank you for having me on your forum. I am mostly on a big forum very nice mates and alot of pictures of their makings
    Thank You

    G'day IY and welcome to the gathering!

    Timber swaps are feasible, but generally only for smaller sizes. If you are into penturning then you have a better chanc,

    What lathe do you have, and what modifications did you make so turning would be a comfortable hobby for you?

    G'day
    Thank you for the welcome.
    I have the Delta 46-460 with a 12 1/2" swing. I would like to get the Nova DVR XP no belts to move and outboard swing of 26".
    I recently emailed the Editor-In-Chief at WoodCraft and they will have my email in the Issue of Feb/March speaking of handicapped turning and flat work.
    At this moment I have not accomplished any mods yet, however, I did buy a very nice ergonomic chair that moves from 24" to 32" high. Very nice for high lathe work.
