Hi there,
I am a 53 year old new comer to the world of woodturning. It's been a couple of years since I did my beginners course, but I only get to the lathe a few hours each week if I'm lucky. I enjoy doing large platters and the like, but my fav would have to be turning pens. My wife loves the results I produce, but truth be known, I think she enjoys having the house to herself for a while, even more.

I have only found a couple of reasonable suppliers for turning blanks in Adelaide. Are they hiding, or is it that I have to look interstate.

[coffenup]

There's Otto's, Macwood, there are one at nairne & theres george at mt pleasant I will be going to geoge's in august to get some more if you want to tag along your more than welcome to as i have plenty of room in the car.
