Bigger is always better in my book.

Welcome to “As the World turns.” Nice job on your first turning. I think I have read Gary’s book. Bigger is better. I have a 16” swing and still want more. Oh well.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

what i know ab out turning is that i know nothing . have so much to learn.

this tiny dremel moto-tool is but a toy.
but am looking for a bigger one i can play with. first i have to sell something to pay for it.

Yep, that’s a darn good start. I have an olivewood candlestick in my shop (more of a polished ‘stick’ than a candlestick!) that was one of my first projects. I’m hooked on pens now… trying bowls soon.

Enjoy!
