Hi, I know several readers here are into photography so I thought I'd put forward this problem here: I need to be able to use my camera outside and in inclement weather (rain, snow, whatever). Is there some hood or other protective barrier I can get to keep it from getting ruined by the...

I just finished watching "Turning Pens with Kip and Rex" for the second time. I'm extremely new to turning, so I thought this might be a good way to get my feet wet. Having seen some of the things involved, I also broke down and ordered the equipment necessary (mandrels, kits etc) to try it...
