Welcome to our abode!

BTW you've got it wrong--lurkers are under the porch.  Now that you've 
properly introduced yourself you get your choice of empty seats ON the 
porch, long as you behave yourself.

>>I hope that hasn't put too many of you to sleep.  And now,
>>back to my spot under the Porch.

Good to see another woodturner on board.  That's my passion currently. 
Although right now it looks like I'm more a bowl blank collector than 
turner.

>>I'm married, again..
Yeah, sometimes you need a practice run to get it right.  My second time is 
way better than the first.

Looks like you've made a good start on a basic set of galoot tools.  If you 
pay attention, there are people here that'll show you how to fill out your 
sta---stas---toolbox.

Set a spell, and the next time you come, invite your friends.
