I have been a member here for a while, just not much of a poster. I have been woodworking as a hobby for many years, but have never done any turning. I am interested in getting started, taking some lessons, getting a lathe, etc. I have and am reading Richard Raffan's "Turning Wood", but would like to be able to meet with an experienced turner to show me around a lathe , answer questions, so that I might make better decisions as I start down this what seems to be a slippery slope. Is there anyone who might be willing to do this for a couple of hours at your convenience? I live in Salisbury, am retired, and willing to drive within reason. Thanks.
