I was given a lathe today by a *good* neighbor. (her husband passed away a few months ago) Is there a newsgroup for "turners"? I'm actually looking for a video or book on using a lathe.
Thanks,
Max

There are lots of clubs around too. If you are in NY check out Northeastern Woodworkers Association.

---------------------------------------- Do you have a community college in your area?
The CC in my area has a lathe class as well as other woodworking programs.

We have a large CC. They have woodworking classes but no class for a lathe. I contacted the local woodturning club and expect to attend their next meeting.

Now just figure that by horseback or wagon! Might be every other year - 320 days for a round trip. Hum new horse every day on the fast pace route.

We made that trip in late 2008. Stopped in Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, Del Rio, Alpine and back home. Nice trip. Took a little more than a weekend though. We were gone 5 weeks. {:-)
