Hello Fellow Woodworkers,

I have been tinkering in the woodworking world all my life (I’m 66 years old) but just starting get serious in the last five years. I’m members of two different woodturning clubs in SE Texas. I attended SWAT in Waco last August and bought a Ringmaster from Peter Merritt. I have got it set up and have turned about 6-8 bowls, but I need to have somebody teach me(hands on) the finer points of the Ringmaster. I will be willing to travel from Texas and pay someone for the class. Let me know your thoughts please.
Marshall Perry

Welcome aboard Marshall, glad to have you here.  And pics, please post up some pics of your work.

Good luck with the hunt, I am not sure of how many on here have ringmasters.  You might want to repost your request in the turning forum.

Welcome to TPW.  Drop in on the turning forum and meet some if the Turner's.

Welcome aboard. About 18 months ago I could give you a place to answer all your questions but the owner shut that site down and he did not want to share that info. Seems he has soured on the world so all that good info is lost in cyberspace somewhere without permission it cannot be recovered. I would be glad to answer specific questions and there is a RM group on Facebook. Just post your questions in the Woodturning forum .

Hello Gerald,

Are you referring to a guy named Lloyd you lives in South Florida?

I'm not sure if I can help. I never touched of even seen a real ringmaster except videos. But watching the videos I knew I 

wanted one. So I made one. It works good for me. I would 

be glad to answer any questions that I can.

 

 

Thank you Kevin, I may just do that.
