hi everyone. thanks for the warm welcome. i'm a newbie to woodworking. at this point in time i am just doing the woodturning (spinny thing) type of projects. i've moved into a new place and converted an extra bedroom into my workshop. to date i have made lots of pens, a few bottle stoppers, and a bowl. i am in the process of learning how to sharpen my chisels. a friend of mine introduced me to this forum and i think i'll really like being part of the 'family'. thanks again for welcoming me.
