Hello everyone.
My son & I are interested in learning to turn pens. But we do not know where to start. I found this site referenced at another woodworking site. I have been woodworking for over 30 years & my son has been doing it for over 12 years. I am a self taught turner. That means that I can turn well enough to get a job done. I still have a lot to learn. My son has never turned. I have a General 260 wood lathe. Can we turn pens on it or would a mini lathe be better?
Could someone recommend some good books & videos for us to get started with? We are also looking for suppliers for pen turning supplies. We prefer internet suppliers as we live far from any major city. The closest wood woodworking store is over 50 miles away.
Thank you.
Chris
