Hi All

[Ed Reiss]

Nice to be here (or anywhere for that matter) with you blokes on the other side of the world

I'm hoping to get some good info from your posts & possibly might be able to return in kind!

I'm kind'a novice turner...only started in 82'...maybe might get better in another 25

Oh yea....G'day

Feel yourself at home, this is a great forum, in my eyes the best on earth.

Cheers. Ad

G'day Ed and welcome to the various addictions in the forums. Hope you get high on some, but not all of them.

[Ed Reiss]

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Hi Wheelinround...
Thanks for the kind words and the invite!!!! ....but from some of the work I've seen coming from the "Land-Downunder", you guys wouldn't need but 25 minutes (about the extent of what I profess to know....and 25 minutes is even pushing it!!!!!), but I'm certainly going to hang around....this appears to be a great forum, nice and friendly with a lot of information sharing.

Our turning club just had one of your "neighbors" in for a demonstration, Peter Oliver, nice guy with a great sense of humor and his off-axis turnings were terrific!

Hi Ed
do you mean kiwi pete (new zealander, carver/turner, big feet, smells like sawdust?)

I've done a few collaborative pieces with pete in NZ a couple of years ago,
nice fella,

[Ad de Crom]

Ed, you introduced yourself very well, by showing us a stunning piece of work.
Took also a look on Picasa, well you're doing great, good looking stuff
Hope you have a lot of fun here.

Yea, that's the guy...he put on a good demo. Gotta admit that I was somewhat disappointed though, was expecting the full Mauri tatto treatment along with the war dance!!! Didn't have neither!!!

Thanks Ad...

I've been on other forums before, but this one has the others beat....friendly people, good info, it's organized well....of course since I signed up things are sure to go downhill quickly!

Welcome aboard, Ed. Great work you have there.

You've made a good assessment, except downhill? I think not: http://flourish.org/upsidedownmap/

[Ed Reiss]

Munruben and Joe.....Thanks for the welcome!

Joe...after looking at those maps, I've come to the conclusion that I am "bass ackwards" (ha-ha-ha)!!! It certainly does point out a different perspective on things though! FYI...we were "neighbors" in the 80's, I used to live in the Pensacola area and sometimes had to go to Tallahasse on business.

G'day Ed and welcome. Looks like you joined just in time, I reckon some of the blokes here into turning could show you how to put a proper hole into that bowl.

Hi Prozac...
The timimg couldn't have been better...all the symposiums I went to over the years, I somehow managed to miss the "Proper Hole" rotation

Bring on the blokes!!!
