Greetings, my first woodturning was in middle school but, though I have done a lot of woodworking, I did not get serious about turning until 2003 when I took a class at Woodcraft. At present I have a Laguna 1836, 2 HP lathe but have swaped the banjo for a Oneway which is much better. I have had the good fortune to do hands on classes with a number of professional turners from whom I have learned a great deal. I have a wide interest in projects: multi-axes, spindles and bowls. My largest turning was a segmented 34" diameter x 16" tall base for a 20 ft colonial column (did not do that one on the Laguna). The smallest was the "jug" in the hand of the "Tipsy Snowman" (pic attached). I look forward to learning and sharing in the AAW Forums,
