wheelchair turners

[dawnp001]

I am looking to find other turners who are disabled, yet still do woodturning from thier wheelchair. My husband and I both love woodturning. He has modified his lathe and is able to turn from his wheelchair. He primarily does segmented turning and has been wondering if there is anyone else who shares his passion and limitations. He is not very good with computers, which is why I am writing. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to hook him up with other wheelchair turners?

Thank you - I will check it out and use google to see if there is something like that in the US. Thanks again. 🙂
