I am brand spanking new to woodturning (in fact, I'm still saving for my lathe, but have turned on a friend's). I'm also a bit of a lurker as this is my first post. I am building up quite a collection of links in my woodturning folder in my favorites list. Most of them I get here from other messages. They have been a great help in getting me to figure out what kind of turning I want to do, style, etc... So my thought is this. Would anyone care to share their own personal website links or their favorite links so the rest of us can bookmark them for references? Thanks for the unending advice and help you offer us newbies. It's more valuable than any tool I've seen yet.
>I found this one recently. It has a TON of great information, especially in the 'Turning Projects' page and the 'Articles and News' page. Most of what is presented is via links to articles and sites elsewhere, but just think of it as "one stop shopping" for woodturning. There are links to Bill Grumbine's site, finishing tips from Jeff Jewitt and Michael Dresdner as well as articles (of varying quality) on everything from roughing out a bowl to turning a wearable baseball cap (the same author also does a great cowboy hat article).
Also, there is a huge section on segmented turning.

P.S. If you have, or know someone who has, diabetes, check out http://www.joinleenow.org it looks like a cure might be near.
There's a bunch of woodturning sites, as you'll discover. One of the best is Kevin Neeley's,
www.turnedwood.com
At least, I think that's it. Google Kevin if that doesn't work. Another good one is Andi Wolfe, and I seem to have misplaced her URL. I think it's
www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/`andi-wolfe
or something like that. Andi's work is quite unique, and probably not for the beginner, but a good place to go for inspiration. She pops up here every so often, so maybe she'll weigh in.
>Sorry - more sloppy editing on my part. I have a wandering sentence fragment in my last post and it makes it look like the URL at the end is for Andi's site. It's not, it's for mine. Boy, I've gotta stop doing this so late at night.
>Thank you everyone. I was never sure whether or not I wanted to do segmented work but after seeing Mark Kauder's website, I'm interested in learning :-). Say hi if any of you ever make it down to the Pensacola/Panama City area.
