Hello

I am a young Italian turner, my name is "Massimo" Max for friends.

I never made a pen, but with your help I think we succeed in creating beautiful pens in the future.

I hope to do many beautiful friendships in the forum.

Greetings from Italy
Massimo

I'm sorry for my bad English.

Benvenuto! welcome to our little addiction! Please don't worry about your English, many native speakers don't do as well as your introduction!

Welcome!

I'm sure you'll find the IAP to be a great resource for ideas, techniques, and inspiration.

I look forward to seeing pictures and learning from *your* work.

hello neighbour

Hello Massimo, since we are practicly neighbours (I live in Slovenia), just want to welcome you in the group. I am also trying to learn how to make beatiful pens, and must say all the best about other pen turners. They have helped me big time, so do not be afraid to ask.

Good luck, Grega

Ciao Massimo, some of my ansestors are from Campobasso. :)
You need to go to Florence and visit some of the fine pen companies like Stipula & Visconti. Hope to see some of your work soon. :peace:

Thanks to all for your hospitality.

Now I'm reading old posts trying to learn.

My lathe is a JET 1236, (link to photo) still have to buy the Pen Mandrea and all other the accessories.

What a good online shop?

Ciao Massimo
Where in Roma do you live? When I was there we stayed at a villa on Via Casilina near Piazza del Pigneto. Do you know the area?

Ciao DocStram
I live on Via tuscolana, very close to Via Casilina.
If you come back in Italy I will be happy to meet you.

Welcome from Texas, USA, Welcome to the addiction. It's also great to have someone from Roma. Maybe you can find some cool acrylic????

Hi, I'm sorry, but what the "cool acrylic"?

Ciao Massimo, some of my ansestors are from Campobasso.

Ciao PenWorks,
I have never visited Campobasso, we could go together ...

See you soon then OK :)
