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.
Ta Kev
