   Dunno where Harrison County is......If you're more southern than northern WV, then you might take a look at the John Campbell Folk School in the mountains of North Carolina. Way, way, western North Carolina.Politics is the antithesis of problem solving.

   Cool, I live in St. Albans in Kanawha.  There is a turners club up in Ripley I think and a woodworking club here in Dunbar with a few turners in it.

   Marc Adams is certainly a very fine suggestion. I spent a weekend with David Ellsworth years ago that I have never forgotten. Ernie Conover is Ohio is certainly a superb teacher too. Joining a local club can be a real good opportunity to learn by turning with a buddy

   I took a basic course from David Ellsworth over Memorial Day weekend. It was the first time I had ever stood at a lathe. I learned a lot and turned 2 bowls. The other students had some turning experience, and my impression is that they learned at least as much as I did.
