I sincerely thank you all for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to turning my first pen this weekend (quite excited).
I have been on a learning course familiarizing myself with the Resin options we have down here and created quite a number of scary looking blanks, (the wife thought they look gorgeous.....) and learning how to turn on the lathe.
Got my pen kit from our reliable MrWoodturner and ready for my practical test
