    I have had an interest in woodworking since Junior High School. After high school and two years college, I moved to Ohio where I worked for twelve years in plastic injection molding and then five years for Ohio Crankshaft , who manufactured very large crankshafts and camshafts for large diesel engines, like trains and ships. I retired from Ford Motor Company, Cleveland Engine Plant and Grey Iron Foundry, in Brookpark, Ohio in 2004, after 28 years as a Machine Repairman.
My wife and I moved to Crossville two weeks before my retirement. My one specification in the house I bought was to have a ready built shop. I now have a complete wood working shop where I don't have to move a car or drag tools out from the wall. I bought a lathe and joined the Cumberland Woodturners in 2005, after seeing their article in the local newspaper. I am, by no means, that good at woodturning, but am learning more all the time, especially from our demos at the monthly meetings and the great turners in our club. My other hobbies are computers, camping and gardening.
