Hi All, I live in central western NH right on the VT border. I have been making pens for about six or eight months now. It is a great stress reliever and I truly love the art of it. If you would like to see some of my work I have a shop on Etsy. My shop name is mikespenturningz I just started it back in December 2011 let me know what you think. I have a few other hobbies but they have all been put in the background for my pens. I really enjoy using different woods, acrylics and corian for my pens, I also am trying my hand at some inlay.

Welcome Michael, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
