    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.

    Mick.
