Hello Y-All from Georgia!

[Silvo]

My name is Josh, IAP name Silvo. I live in Kingsland, GA just North of Jacksonville on the GA/FL border. I joined IAP in February and am absolutely crazy about the people, info, birthday bash, well everything! This is an awesome site.

I turn pens, bowls, vases, among other things.
I use a Jet 1642EVS lathe and a Jet VS1014 for my turnings.

I learned to turn way back in high school and 20 years later I picked it back up about a year ago and cannot stop.

I have learned a great deal already from this great site and great people.
Thanks for having me!

Silvo

Welcome Josh. Your previous turning experience will certainly be beneficial. In fact we expect some pen picts posting soon! :biggrin:

Below is a link to a PDF file that is just a lite overview of many of the aspects of pen turning as well as methods and finishes. You already are ahead of the curve on most of it but some might be helpful.
