Hello. I bought myself a lathe for Christmas this year and am adding power to my garage next week, so I can make a small wood shop there.
I took 1 class at the local Woodcraft store and signed up for another one next month. I've been reading up and watching videos...so much to learn!

Welcome! Classes are worthwhile. I took a pen turning class at the Chattanooga store. Later, I got a class for a Christmas present for my grandson. The AAW website has a great library on various aspects of woodturning.

Nancy,

Your next step is to befriend an arborist so they can let you know when they are cutting trees down in your neighborhood. Most cities have smaller operators that run portable wood milling equipment, these operators process the trees into lumber and slabs for contractors and wood workers. These operators are also a good source for wood blanks for wood turners, a lot cheaper then paying retail for expensive wood blanks at a store.

You both have had some good times lately.

I started watching the Dolphins in the beginning. A student ID and $1 for a seat in the upper deck of the orange bowl.
The round trip bus ticket from a shopping center near our house was a $1.35

back then Two high schools played their home games in the orange bowl and both outdrew the dolphins and the hurricanes for big games where those high schools put 50,000 in the stands.

Current disappointment
The gators threw the LSU game with a shoe costing a spot in the NCAA playoffs.

That was a game we really didn’t deserve to win. It’s been a long and disappointing season for us Tiger fans.

I remember my first Saints game at Tulane stadium. Student end zone seat for a dollar.

looks like your Dolphins are trending in the right direction though. Flores seems to be a really good coach.
