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 PS be safe trying to take off the head stock on some of these larger machines...I broke, smashed and nearly took off the end of my left lil finger,,,but gratefully I have a finger and the nail is even coming back.

 Glad to hear you're on the mend. Welcome to the forum!
You can turn an awful lot of stuff on that lathe. Or, if you are like me, you can turn a lot of awful stuff on it. -clovishound

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 Alec

Howdy. I'm Matt Paretsky. In my late 30s. I've been turning for about a year now, started out taking a class at a local college. Mostly I make pens and other small things.

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