Stumbled upon this group researching lathes, how to do it and safety risks involved. Figured Id see if anyone is around the Dallas area and wouldnt mind letting me come over and watch and ask questions about turning. I have zero experience and a ton of questions. I also have a garage full of cedar cutoffs of all sizes and shapes. Just figured I could turn them into something besides air fresheners for my garage. Either way send any info or invites to me at
