I was privileged recently to take a three day turning course with Bill thru the local turning club. After previously spending many frustrating hours creating only sawdust, firewood and shrapnel, my life now will never be the same.
My once clean Mustard Monster is now ankle deep in shavings, the bandsaw is a mess, the shop is awash in sawdust and even a corner of the back yard is covered in chainsaw sawdust since I was lucky enough to score a bunch of mesquite "firewood" on the same weekend. Everything is spinning! It's that vortex thing!! I'm being sucked in-n-n-nnnn............
Seriously, I highly recommend Bill Grumbine's classes. He is an accomplished craftsman and all around great guy. I enjoyed the three days spent in his class and appreciate the skills I aquired there.
