Cool thread!
I'm 49 and started turning 1 year ago. I inherited my dad's shop tools (all brand new) when he passed in 2003, and the tools sat in storage for 7 years until I was able to finally get a shop (albeit on wheels) to move them to. I don't consider myself a very patient person, but I guess waiting 7 years shows a little bit of patience! In my short 1 year of turning, I think I have actually crammed in about 3 years worth lol.
Enjoying the ride and looking forward to many more years of turning!
