Hi all,
I'm from the Netherlands, and found this forum by searching on the internet.
I'm a hobby woodturner, started with this wonderful hobby in 2001 after my retirement, so I have some experience.
Was from my profession mechanical engineer, and like it to make my own tools, and devices.
Hope having a nice time on this forum, anyway it looks very interesting to me.

Hello. I am also retired and spend time doing small turnings on a mini-lathe. Everyone in the family is well stocked with pens and pencils now.
Welcome.

Thanks oldnamvet for your warm welcome.
I notice not many woodturnings to see on this forum till now.
I understand this forum is brandnew, might be the reason.
I'll try to do something about this, by posting soon some WIP pictures from a roughly turned maple bowl I'm busy with.
Well having the status of retired means having the best thinkable life, isn't it.
Best regards, Ad

Hi Ad - yes it is a new forum and just getting going. There are lots of woodturning forums out there but some are so far advanced in what they are doing that I feel out of place. Yes, the retired life can be fun and relatively stress free at times. Seems like things other than woodworking still take up most of my time.
