Hi-My name is Mark Lohbeck and I am new to the forum. I have been woodworking for around 10 years but started wood turning in 2021 when I retired. My first attempts were pens and bottle stoppers after buying a 10" Turnmaster and using the carbide tools that came with the lathe. I realized I needed help after watching several you tube videos and in late 2021 joined the Ohio Valley Wood turners Guild. I have taken many skill building classes using traditional tools and also some on bowls, boxes, ornaments and peppermills. I sold my 10" Turnmaster and bought a PM 2014. I will never stop learning and each day I learn something new.
