Hey Robert, nice to see you joining us! I was really impressed with the pens that y'all had made so far, when I was there a few weeks back for the meeting.

That's a great shop you have! And I look forward to seeing some of your work on this site soon!:cool:

Take care! Lee

Welcome Robert. There sure are lots of great people in Texas making pens! I noticed that one of your interests is "puzzles". Not sure which kind but there is a puzzle pen offered by a couple of vendors that are IAP members. Check them out by clicking here and also here. Those were just the first two that popped up in a "puzzle" search.

I am posting links below to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a link to a PDF file that is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:
