Just wanted to introduce myself
Oct 20^th, 2009 at 9:11pm

New guy to the forum and I just wanted to say Hi and give alittle background on myself. I have been turning since last year about this time and I got my start on game calls but am starting to migrate into other items. I am currently on a Harbor Freight midi lathe but am probley going to upgrade to a jet mini this christmas to open up a few more doors. I have access to a fully furbished machine shop with every thing from a heatreat ovens to waterjet tables so I will try and bring some knowledge of tool making to the table. Currently I am trying to get setup making christmas ornaments and will be getting some pictures out for yall to criticize and help me improve upon.

And as a bonus, you're well-equipped in the metalworking department to build your hollowing rig, when that time comes.

Welcome Aaron, you've come to the right place if you want to lose your insanity, good folks here with lots of knowledge from simple bottle stoppers to fancy wood "ART". We like to have fun, so I hope you got thick skin, it want get that bad but if ya say or do something someone is sure to pick up on it and run... hehehe

Just don't expect Chuck to send ya your cookies to soon, he's to busy delivering the mail and as soon as he get's em made he eats then if he doesn't send them to Ken or David... I still haven't gotten mine and I been here over two years!!!

That's because we all know Brendan's is better than everyone else's.

(You were talking about vivid imaginations, weren't you?)

LOL Vaughn,

You beat me to it!

When I read Aaron's comment about no mine's-better-than-yours stuff here I was going to write something along the lines of "Actually Aaron, mine's better than all theirs', whatever it is" but you sunk my boat (although my wife might agree on the imagination thing).

Also, Hi Aaron, there is no escape!
