Sorry that it's taken so long to write my introduction. My journey in woodturning started in Charlotte, North Carolina in early 2003, when I became the Woodworking Merit Badge counselor for our local Boy Scout Council's seven-week summer camp. I was in-between consulting gigs at the time. The merit badge had an optional requirement for woodturning. In order to teach that option, I had to learn spindle and bowl turning at our local Wodcraft store. Our lathe at camp was a spring pole lathe, belonging to our camp blacksmith.
Ater the camp season ended, I became a member of a regional woodturning guild located in Hickory, NC and I've been turning since then. We moved back to the Rochester, NY area in the fall of 2005, and became a member of the Rochester Woodworkers Sociey in 2006. I've been an AAW member since 2003. and have been turning on and off since that time, while also working on various flat board projects.
My wife and I have attended several Totally Turning events in Saratoga Springs, and the 2005 AAW Symposium on Pittsburgh. There are several new projects on my bucket list, so I have to get busy.
