Ivan Clark, 62 years old, been turning for 4 or 5 years now.

Seems like I spend too much time turning money into tools rather than making shavings.




You will now move into the phase where you spend more time making places to keep your tools than making whatever you told your wife you were going to make when you started all this.

I was intending to start outfitting the tills last summer. When that didn't happen, it was supposed to be this summer. If someone starts a most-cluttered shop competition again, I should post pictures. I picked up 3 of the 6' instrument racks on surplus to convert into plane and chisel tills. The pull out slides are bought, but it is more fun making shavings.

FWIW, an oscilloscope cart with a wire wine bottle rack (in place of the scope) does a good job of holding turning tools as long as no one tries to walk by the pointy ends.

This has got to be the longest-running thread on WoodNet.

So, what the heck. I'm Steve Schuler, 36 years old, and just got a free lathe this summer, which needs parts.

Yeah, I know. Getting a free lathe is like getting a free puppy.

So, down I go.

I am from Howell, MI. 35yo with 2 girls, 3 if you count my wife. I got started turning on a couple of the Oliver lathes that I refurbished. I am slowly changing my shop over to handle more spinny stuff as I enjoy it more than flat work. I guess I truly started this year, although I have done the occasional tool handle over the years. I have been doing mostly bowls, cups, and what I will call bowl/vessel hybrids. I want to get into hollowing once I can afford to buy a hollowing rig. Without one I feel as though I am on borrowed time so I have to keep ambition at bay for now.

Rick Miller. I live in SC and my grandkids call me Papa, therefore the scpapa username.
Have had my JWL 1220 a couple of years, still trying to get the hang of this spinning stuff. And I'm falling farther into the vortex.
