When Rude Osolnik was asked, "Rude, how do I become a good turner?" he replied,
"Stand at the lathe."Well, that's the key!
Of all the woodworking crafts I have practiced, Turning demands most patience and focus.
As you start, you have to find your comfort zone with a lathe, chisels, and other tools. After some practice, your mind and body would get attenuated to the ecosystem of Turning.
There are two ways of learning; one is learning from SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) with years of experience, and the other is to learn from people who are just a few steps ahead of you in their journey.
I fall into the latter group. I have spent five years on this hobby and am still learning from the experts.I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips that helped me.
