:bananen_smilies035: I find Woodturning Design to be a very interesting read. Although it is a turning magizine, it usualy has an article on pen turning, gluing, or casting in every issue. Many are written by members of this site. If you want to learn about pen turning, or any of it's aspects, check the library on this site. It has loads of videos and how tos in there. Also check the photos section to see other peope's work, what kits they used, what blanks were used, and how they finished them. Jim S
