I have loved turning ever since I purchased my first lathe almost 40 years ago.  It was a Craftsman lathe that worked very well but I replaced it with a Delta variable speed.  I quickly out grew the Delta and purchased a Powermatic 3520B about 15 years ago.
I  served as President of the Alamo Woodturners for 5 years and I am a charter  member of the Alamo Penturners.  I served as Secretary of SWAT for one year. 
 
The creative aspect of wood turning is what I love especially when a piece of firewood turns in to  a nice bowl or vase.  Sometimes you don't know what the final shape will be because of the irregularity of the wood.
