Just joined the Forum.
« on: July 13, 2015, 12:51:00 PM »
Thought I better introduce myself. I am a keen turner and have been for 12 or so years, currently running a VB36 with standard bed. Very much into deep hollowing and bowls but enjoy any challenges... I live on the Norfolk Broads, so this time of year its more time out on the rivers than in the workshop.

Impressed with the Forum, will enjoy joining in.

Yes I will get some pics up when I can, most of my items are turned to order like yourself and I don't always think to use the opportunity to snap them, will see what I can find. If not gives me an excuse to hide away in the shop...... :o

Welome to the forum Stuart.

Graham
I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?
