New Bear in Town! *LOL*
Feb 19th, 2009, 1:27am
 
Good morning Fellow Woodturners,

I was 57 years old when starting woodturning and woodworking for the first time in my life, and that was just a year ago. I work as a Regional Manager for the railroad and travel extensively, so I don't get nearly enough time in front of the lathe, but in spite of the minimal time I get, I am turning pens, bowls, and fly rod reel seats which actually look pretty good. As a matter of fact, I have a lot of people asking me to do pens for them, but it certainly not going to replace my current income! *LOL*

Anyway, I was shocked and extremely surprised to hear about the Glacier Woodturners club, and I was determined to find you and get involved. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the mall Saturday afternoon and found you all! I can't wait for the next meeting, and if I don't get transfered to Fort Worth, TX between now and the meeting, I'll definitely be there!

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to join the forum, and I really look forward learning more and more about woodturning!

Rick (mtgrizzly52)

Welcome Rick,

I didn't attend the demo at the mall but I'm sure you met a bunch of friendly turners.  Looking forward to meeting you at the next meeting. March 21.  BTW I'll have to tap you for info on turning "I am turning pens, bowls, and fly rod reel seats"  I have some reel seat hardware that I need to do something with.  Bring in the reel seats you've turned for the show and tell at the next meeting. Shocked Cheesy

Keep Turning

Don
