Hello All
I am a bit long in the tooth to start a new hobby but my wife passed away a year ago and due to the that and the
Covid lockdowns, I needed something to save my sanity.
My Grandfather did woodturning a long long time ago and its something that I always fancied trying so I splashed out and bought
a small lathe, watched a lot of youtube videos and tried it.I was hooked from day 1 and have been doing it for 6 months now with
varying success but finding it good that I can still learn at the age of 67.
I have done a few laminated projects,none of which i can say would be good enough to sell but each one has been progress.
I recently purchased another well known segmenting software package which turned out to be very buggy and annoying to use to I looked for
something better and came across woodturner pro.. amazing programs and after playing around with trial version, I purchased the full package
today.
It will take a while to learn all the features of the programs but I am looking forward to making better things and participating in this forum, you guys
have made some fantastic projects and encouraged me to carry on learning.
Attached a couple of photos to show where I am with turning ( I know the cookie jar isnt segmented as such but turned out nice)
I did the bird houses quite a long time ago and this week the birds have taken up residency in one of them
