Hello From Oregon
06/25/12 at 08:05:46

I'm new here and I'm from Cottage Grove, Oregon. I have a garage turning shop where my Jet 1014VS and Jet 1642 share space with my darlin' wife's car. I started with pens a few years ago, then stopped turning then got back to it later on. I still consider myself a beginner.

I've been to the last two AAW symposiums (St. Paul and San Jose) with a turning buddy and I'm a big admirer of Lyle Jamieson. I just bought Lyle's hollow form boring system and it should be here this week. I see that Craig Jackson is a member here and I use three of his full-size tools. Don't know if anyone else I know is on here but I hope to make a few new turning friends.

I'm a combat-disabled Vietnam veteran and retired from a government career.

I'm looking forward to enjoying this forum and to learning a lot more about turning.

Chuck
