Hey and welcome!
I'd recommend you add a location to your profile. I appreciate that you may have some concerns about privacy, but if you stay general (like Ed with "South Florida") it would be pretty hard for anyone to figure out who you are (of course Ed used his name, so that is not his concern). Often by knowing your location, a local turner might offer some help or introduce you to some opportunities specific to your location.
In any case, we got a bunch of people who are happy to help with any turning issues you may have. Enjoy.
