Andy Barnum

Andy Barnum calls himself a lathe guy. A professional wood turner, he teaches turning at Purchase College of the State University of New York. The last time he wrote for us, he enlisted his students and fellow instructors to help give five midi-lathes a workout for an article in FWW #158. For his tool test in FWW #191, however, he did all the testing himself.
