I have spent a good part of yesterday and this morning reading everything you have provided in the photography section. I have made a copy and intend to refer back to it often. This might be the push that I have been needing to start photographing my turning. Thanks for a great site. There is so much good information. I plan on spreading the word about your web site to other turners.

Thanks, Kendall

Hi Neal, I just finished reading your photography section. I already feel like I'm a
better photographer and I haven't even picked up my camera. LOL
Thank you for all your hard work on this subject.

Neal, you answered a turning question for me today on WoodNet. About what PSI was. Appreciated. Been looking around your site here. Your work is just plain awesome. Really enjoyed the trip through your gallery. I'm working my way through the Turner's Corner now. Thanks for posting the info. Getting started part is really helpful. I'm signed up for a turning class at Palomar College here in SoCal this spring. Again, reallly nice work.
Take Care,

Neal,

I found your site by way of some meanderings stemming from the Segmented Turners new site. The work that you've done to present the information that you do is truly a gift to turners or any woodworkers for that matter - especially the sections on photography. WOW. Know that your site is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Good morning,
Found your site and have spent a very enjoyably hour reading over it. I haven't turned since junior high school and after attending several craft and art shows here in the Georgia mountaoins this fall am thinking of getting back into the hobby.
I plan to get together with a turners guild member upon returning to our winter home in Florida. Needless to say I'm starting all over agian so instruction from an expernced turner will be in order.
I would like you opinion (honest) about the Delta 12-460 midi lathe for a starter tool. From the research I've done it appears to be a solid unit and quite capable in it's class. Whadda ya think...? Of course I'm open to all suggestions since I'm not going to purchase a lathe untill later this year. (hellllloooo Santa)
I enjoy your site.
Regards,
Jerry

YOUR ARTICLE IS MOST INFORMATIVE. AS AN EMPLOYEE AND TEACHER OF WOODTURNING AT WOOCRAFT IN GREENVILLE S.C. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO USE IT AS A HANDOUT TO TURNING STUDENTS. IF YOU AGREE TO THIS NOTHING WILL BE CHANGED, YOU WILL RECEIVE FULL CREDIT FOR THE WHOLE COMPOSITION.
YOU ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR SUCH A CONCISE AND SPECIFIC DISERTATION, EVERYTHING THAT A NOVICE WILL ASK HAS BEEN ANSWERED IN ITS CONTEXT, YOUR EXPLANATION OF THE COSTS IS MOST APPROPRIATE, AND ONE THAT I TRY TO FOLLOW WHEN DISCUSSING THE PROSPECTS OF TURNING TO SERIOUS FUTURE TURNERS.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PRODUCED A FINE COMPOSITION.
REGARDS, JOHN LAMACRAFT.

Very nice site Neal!!!
I have copied your article about getting started in Woodturning for a friend of mine who is considering buying a lathe and turning Pens.
I know he will move along and turn other things as well so your article is very timely for him.
I am a member of the Woodworking Friends hosted by William Young, really enjoy the thought provoking topics on the site including yours.....
See you on the WWF site.
