Howdy,,,,Name is Tony K hence the tk.I am 44 years old. Been turning about 4 years but sadly stopped for almost 1.5 years due to health issues and just got back to it 6 months ago. I turn on a 16" steel bed delta.
Take care and happy and safe turning,
Tony

Hi, I'm Bill Esposito. I've been turning for about 4 years I think. Life and work has kept me from any serious turning/woodworking for about a year but I hope to change all that this winter.
I have some cherry burls and an unopened box of McNaughton center savers just waiting to be used.

Alec Hosterman here. I've been doing WW for about a year now, working on basic pieces - boxes, cutting boards, trivets, recipe holders, etc. Made an apothecary chest last Xmas (it was okay) and am now working on a music stand for my lovely wife.
I just turned my first pen the other day and am really drawn in by the creative nature of turning. It's definitely not simple, but I can see how the skills one has to have in turning will help me in other WW aspects.
I'm also into photography: www.alechosterman.com and have a blog on all things that come across my mind: www.alechosterman.com/WordPress

Glad to meet ya. I guess with a year under your belt you're fairly far down the turning vortex, eh?

Names Steve.
But I have been called a few other names! Wood Turner? After 1 year it is not by choice but by need. I LIVE day by day, looking for that next piece of wood that will bring me Serenity. Have you seen it?
