Running Dog Woodworking

Welcome to my blog.  I don’t know how often I’m going to be able to post to this thing, but I have great ambitions, so we’ll see how it goes.

I am a full time production woodturner, who occasionally delves into the artsy, but mostly makes utilitarian things for the kitchen.  I have been at this full time for over a year, and for several years before that part time, but I still consider myself a relative newcomer to the field.  With this blog I intend to post notes on my methods, as well as pictures of new work as I do it.  Most of my methods will be old hat to experienced woodturners, but I have developed a few wrinkles which I think work well, so hopefully there will be something here even for old hands.  I worked as a mechanical and process engineer for 20 years before quitting to do this full time, so I am always analyzing my methods and trying to find better ways of doing things.  I am hoping to learn something from this blog as well, so please do comment if you think there is a better way than mine.

Thanks for your attention.
