Default Where can the turners be found?

When several of the BIG ISP outfits (AT&T, Comcast etc.) dropped
UseNet News Group service activity dropped off significantly. Some
of the regulars moved to other turning forums and some just moved
on.

I stop in every day or so - but things have gotten really quiet here.
I've been spending more time at WoodCentral.com, mainly in the
Turning forum. It's a pretty active group with a fair number of well
know turners participating - and it allows attaching images to posts
- something you can't do here.

I posted a link to web page about a piece I was working on - a winged
lidded box - three weeks ago and have had no responses at all. Don't
know if it's because people don't have web browsers to use the link
or it could be no one's interested.

I'm working on a wooden version of a Tibetan Singing Bowl - that
will use a cell phone vibrator to generate sounds - which I hope
will create waves in a layer of glass micro ballons in place of a
liquid inside the bowl. Will post the url to more about the piece
and maybe a link to a YouTube video - if I can get the idea working
as I envision it to work.

So how long have you been turning, what lathe are you on, what
types of stuff do you enjoy doing, etc...
