Hello Christos
It has been a long time since I have done any woodwork, maybe something to save for my retirement life.

Hello Rumnut,
I have not much to show in the woodwork department just a passion for it.

Hi from New Zealand,
At least when you do decide to make something from wood, the tools will be sharp .
Biggest thing for any beginner to get right at the start. Have mentored a few beginner turners lately and they have found that sharp tools just make the whole job go easier.
Cheers Ian

Hello Ian,
Sharp tools are important as is learning to use them.
Thanks JohnnyD
