I'm Chuck Ellis, and I followed Frank's post from another site here.. liked what I saw and joined.. I'm in east Tennessee, retired about 2 years ago and have been turning about 5 years. Started on pens and now try to turn everything I can think of. I do most of my work on Jet 1014, but also still have my first lathe, a Ridgid from Home Depot. It's cumbersome but still a fair lathe.
 
Howdy Chuck. :wave: Good to see another turner climb on board. Most guys get the big lathe second...I see you went in reverse order. (But still an upgrade, I'm sure.) ;)

TELLICO?? Man that brings back memories. As a kid I spent a lot summer vacations up there in the Park. Fishing, riding motorcycles. Playing the river.

My mom wanted to make one more trip up there before she died but she went down hill EXTREMELY fast and didn't get too. We are going to drive up and spread her ashes in the Park. She loved that that place.

Anyway, welcome aboard.
