Hi Guys, New kid to the block....although I do have an hint of silver hair:wink:

I moved to Ireland twenty odd years ago from Lincolnshire and now live near The Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Ireland.

I am really looking forward to becoming part of your community and hopefully will have some useful input to give as well, but mainly at this point I will most likely be asking a lot of questions me thinks.

I do have a lathe that I collected on my travels about two years ago and I'm ashamed to admit it has the same amount of dust on it:shocking: I know, but now it's time to learn how to use it once I get the wife to put the plug on:thumbs:

Pens and small items will be my main focus and I can also admit I'm really excited to get started with all the help I can get.

Ho. Ho. Ho...

Leadbelly.

A blunt pencil is better a sharp memory.

Welcome Russ.
You've come to the right place for furthering your knowledge.
Ask your questions, also have a look in the tutorials and have a go using the search facility.
This is truly an international forum.
Help is just a question away.
Have fun clearing the dust off the lathe. :funny:
