Hi all.
I've been a keen tinkerer with wood and metal work for a while. I made a workbench for me, and a bed for my son a few years ago (just made it up as I went along, and both projects turned out OK) and was hooked.
I've always wanted to try woodturning and have just picked up a Woodfast MC908 which I'm stoked about.
Anybody in the Frankston area feel up to giving a beginner an intro into woodturning?
Anyway I'm looking forward to enjoying this forum as a resource for my woodworking future.
Cheers all,
Tony

Tony, welcome to the forum.

A short bicycle ride from Frankston will get you to Langwarrin.

Regular daytime meetings with demonstrations are held every Wednesday from 13:00 hrs onwards.

Plus you have access to a very well equipped shop where you can learn and practice under guidance from more experienced turners.
