Glaser scraper for sale on Classifieds bd.

http://www.woodspunworkshop.com I started turning wood about 50 years ago. Unfortunately, I stopped turning wood about 49 years ago. If you haven't guessed, that was high school wood shop, and my brief encounter with the lathe stayed in my memory all my working life. I retired from the US Public Health Service in 1993, moved to West Virginia, bought a lathe, and started back up again. Soon afterward, I met an old man who had been a mouldmaker and patternmaker in the glass industry that once thrived here. I spent a year learning his method of segmented turning - different in the preparation stage from most methods used today - and he became my mentor and friend. More than anything, I learned patience from him. I still do segmented work (using his method) but have now branched out into some other areas. Along the way, I moved up to a Robust American Beauty lathe. I sell my work in a few galleries and I find tremendous satisfaction in woodturning. I'm also an old-time fiddler and square dance caller, and I spend more time with that in the summer, more time in the shop in the winter. Take a look at my website to see my shop and some of my work.
