I am relatively new to the area.
I have not done any serious turning in many many years and no turning at all in the last 10 years. At one time I was a lathe junkie and was fairly good at it.
I just bought a new Jet lathe (Model 1236) and want to know where there may be a small saw mill nearby where I can pick up some blanks at a reasonable price.
Also want to know if there are any small woodturning clubs in the area. If not, I would like to start one. If interested, contact me. I had been to a Gulf Coast Woodturners meeting and it was nice, but not my thing. It was so crowded that it is almost impossible for anyone to really see and learn. When I lived in Little Rock, we had a small turners club that met at my shop and each meeting, one of the members gave a demo and everyone could stand around the lathe and watch. Nothing formal, just a small bunch of turners. We learned and increased our skills rapidly.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this site.
