    Default Hello from the other Exmouth!

    Hi All, I am a hobby woodturner living in Exmouth, Devon UK.

    I was really fortunate to discover a local 'Men's Shed' about a week after I took early retirement. They had a bunch of lathes and tools I could learn on and, more importantly, several expert turners who were willing to show me the ropes. I have been turning for nearly 6 years now and still learn something new with every chunk of wood I turn. I particularly enjoy having the luxury of time to go where the wood takes me, rather than having to turn out pieces to predetermined dimensions.

    There still seem to be a lot of pages I am not able to access but I look forward to finding out what its like to turn upside down!

    Oh, it's so difficult you wouldn't believe it plays merry hell with balancing on my head.
