Have had a lathe for 10 years but only really been able to put much time to my very favourite past time since I retired in 2009. I do not consider myself an artist as many members obviously are, but rather a craftsman. I make that statement as I find it dificult to "invent" ideas of my own so tend to be a copier, hopefully with a difference. I'm really enjoying exploring different ideas with what one can do with a lathe and the right piece of wood. I live in Whangarei, pop. 68,000 in the north of New Zealand and would love to correspond with any other member who wishes to on what ever subject. I'm just getting back into the new WoW and hope to post some work shortly.
