    Hello All

    New Guy here, Just want to take time to introduce myself
    I Love to do woodworking but turning is my passion. I was introduced to turning back in trade school but did not get to turn that much back then. I didn't get back into it until about 1 1/2 years ago I purchased a Jet Mini Turned on it for almost a year and decided I needed a bigger lathe. I wanted a lathe that would last for a long time and would not outgrow in a year or so of turning and I decided on the PM3520 Im very pleased with this lathe
    I started out Just playing making what ever I could think of. Then got started on Pens and that is what really got me hooked. I mostly turn Bowls now and have just started doing Hollow forms. I also like making my own tools and jigs for the lathe.
    This looks like a Nice forum to hang out on, Hope get to know you all.
    Thanks Doug for showing me this site
    I will Post a few Pics of some of my work.
    Jim
    Here is a cedar bowl, Curly Ash Bowl, Bethleham Olivewood Pen And Box set.
