Official PayPal Seal

   I am a full time CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) Lathe Operator for a machine shop in a manufacturing facility in Oklahoma that specializes in making fluid ends for oilfield applications.  I am also a part time Web Designer, hosting and designing websites. In my spare time one hobby of mine is woodworking and recently I began making pens, pencils, and other hand turned projects.  This site is mainly to showcase and document my projects and show my progression over time.

   Many of these projects will be sold through Ebay and local crafts shows, those not given away as gifts that is.  Any projects available for sale on Ebay can be found by doing a search using my User ID, which as you can guess is "turningsbytim".

   The kits for the projects on the other pages were purchased from various mail order catalog companies such as Penn State Industries and Craft Supplies USA, who also sell through the internet, as well as mail order.  The woods used have all been purchased from sellers on ebay, (I could mention their User ID's) but there is already enough competition :).
