Woodturning Tool Store

Woodturning Tool Store Woodturning Tool Store is an online retailer of quality woodturning tools. Who we are …

Hello. Personally, I enjoy the immediate spontaneity of wood turning.
(1)

my name is Tod Raines and I am originally from Calgary, Alberta, Canada but moved to Allen, Texas in 1997. I am happily married to my wife Shelly and we have a daughter who is now making a life for herself. I am an electrical engineer that had worked in the telecom industry for over 23 years. I started woodworking in the 1990s making furniture and built-in cabinets for our home. I bought my first

lathe in 2002 and was self taught for the first couple of years. I then joined the Dallas Area Woodturners club (an American Association of Woodturners chapter) which helped guide and train me. One of the most notable training classes I have attended was a weekend turning class taught by Al Stirt. These two days with Al Stirt really helped enhance my turning skills while equally important expanding my knowledge about form, function, and how the wood grain and texture guides the turning decisions. Another great teacher I had was Donald Derry who helped me develop my hollowing skills. The best part is that it only takes a small amount of time to complete a turned project (however, some can take much longer). This makes it easy to keep up with your turning hobby even among a busy work life.

Easy to find the product I was looking for. Shipping seemed a bit much for something as small as I got.

I am going to turn a box that I originally turned in June of 2016. Ten years later let's finish it. I cannot even remember turning this piece back in 2016 and I am not sure what species of wood it is. Join me and let's discovery this together.
