Welcome to IAP. That's a very nice set for your first weekend. I suspect you'll have lots of more fun.

Very nice pens. The fit and finish look good! My complements! Have some orders for Christmas presents. One is a Slimline.
Allow me to recommend a book- Turning Modified Slimline Pens by Don Ward. He takes you through the steps with text and photos. Nothing funky but attractive designs and use of several common materials, techniques. etc.

Welcome from NJ. Very nice looking pens. I am new to pen turning as well. Just started in March. I try to turn something everyday to sharpen and improve my technique. I ripped some pine 2x4's down to practice beads, coves and pens to get the fit & finish down. I wish I had started turning years ago. Loads of fun. Here are two bottle stoppers and a pen i made yesterday for my upcoming Coast Guard Auxiliary Conference for the Chinese Auction. The last pen is Purple Heart.

Thank you all for the kind words. I love this forum so far. It won't be long before I'm doing other items, I have a feeling.
