Bought a Jet mini-lathe about 15 years ago, used it once then sat on a shelf for 14 years. Just getting into it and learning how to make things round and bowl-shaped.
Hey Matt, welcome!
I also live in Chapel Hill and I also do some spinny work! Feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd like to get together some time. I can also help you with sharpening techniques as well as turning.
Welcome to our little spot on the web Matt, glad to have you with us. There are some very good turners here and always some one willing to share some knowledge.
