Hi newbie question
« on: November 11, 2019, 10:22:45 AM »
Hi I would like to introduce myself to the forum.
I’m completely new to wood turner but not totally clueless, I do have other machines that I am constantly using but would love to try wood turning.
I do have some equipment to get started but I would I like to be able to join a local turning club and was wondering if anyone knows of any clubs local to the Leigh, Lancashire area .
Thank you, looking forward to reading some of your threads and talking to you.

No need, just turn it into shavings and sawdust then it is easier to get rid of ;)

If it gets too small it becomes a top lor keyring. Even smaller dolls house fr=urniture. Shavings go for mjulch or chickens.
