First,I enjoy the Forum and all of the people associated with it. Have been inhaling sawdust off and on for the past 70 years ( am now 94 and still breathing) purchased a Carvewright and was instanly hooked. Have had my ups and downs but with help from other carvers one in particular (Ross Clark) I feel that I have learned a lot about the carver. I also do turning,both metal and wood. Would also like to hear from any old timers out there (hoffmans@imt.net) Billings,Mont. Will try and send pics to the Forum of some of my carvings. Thanks.

Glad you have found something to keep you young. Keep carving and turning! Hope I can double my age and catch up to you!

[tierman]

Welcome and am very interested in seeing your work. Happy carving!

[Canemaker]

It seems you'r never too old to learn new tricks. Continue to enjoy the
machine and all it can do for you. I'm not an old timer, but I would be interested
in seeing some of your past projects that you have turned in wood and metal and I
am just starting to turn with both a metal and a wood lathe. Send me a pm if you wish. Thanks

Welcome Sir! Welcome to the forum. Any relations to the Gold Mining Hoffman's?

[hoffmans]

Steve I think all of my relatives must have been coal miners. Hope to see you on the forum.

John I do quite a bit of wood turning along with carving. My metal lathe just keeps my shop going when some thing breaks down and can be repaired by building a new part. Will post some pictures as soon as I learn how to do it. Thanks for the come back.

It's good to hear from someone with those metal turning skills. Wishing you the best with your machine.
