A collector of bowls and hollow forms for 40 years (Moulthrops, Kent, Mode, Vesery, etc.), I waited until I retired from urologic surgery to start turning—didn’t want to lose a thumb. While I still don’t want to lose any body parts, I started turning in Feb 2023, just bowls--and now also hollow forms. Classes, books, YouTubes, magazines, private classes, wood forums, and a mentor—I’ve thrown myself into this hobby, using my upgraded PM3520a. I’m trying to confine my turning to bowls and hollow forms, but have made my share of funnels also. I look forward to learning a lot on this site.
