Im not going to lie. I have joined to steal all your ideas and tips.
But seriously. I hope i am able to contribute something to the community. I got into pen turning because i hate cheap pens and i enjoy making things. I just turned my first one and really enjoyed the process. So far my lathe experience ranges from putting tips on my pool cues (which i need a much better lathe for) to making handle for the carbide lathe tools i made from scratch to a pen. I have such a long way to go down this rabbit hole.
