Hi my name is Kris, I have been a longtime lurker and finally took the big plunge and joined. I have been turning for about 12 years (there was a 10 year break in the middle as I was between marraiges and all of my shop equipment was in storage). I am truly inspired by the skills and creativity of the members here and I look to contibute as much as I can to this community.

Welcome Kris, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. You mention that you have read some of the site, 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.
