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]
