Learning to turn metal was one of my retirement projects. Been at it since 2013 on a CT043N 12x36 lathe. Besides having fitted a couple of barrels to target rifles and making a few parts for reloading equipment, most of my work has been making tools for the lathe (such as milling attachment, live centres, etc.) Tremendous fun it is. Looking forward to reading about how other Canadians are enjoying their hobby. Mike
