Hi there. I guess I'm the newest newbie (read that as "complete beginner") here having just registered yesterday.
I started getting into woodworking this last year and have only been doing some basic woodworking to try to build my skills up. I've known for years I eventually wanted to dabble in woodworking, but never had the time/space, etc.... We moved this last year and I have more space now to start playing with.
Unfortunately, I've had to take a break these last few months due to a shoulder issue I've been dealing with (just had surgery on it about 1 1/2 weeks ago).
In this down time, I've started watching youtube videos on wood turning and realize this is the direction I want to take this hobby. Especially the fun stuff adding colorful epoxy resin in and creating beautiful art pieces.
When I'm able to get back at it, I'll continue some basic woodworking for a bit to hone my skills a bit more (still quite a newbie), but I'd like to buy a lathe and start turning. Maybe adding some power carving to the mix as well.
Hope to get to know you all and learn lots of great things.
