Welcome Colin,

Glad to see you here and your specialty (design) is welcome here! Feel free to join in and give us some pointers on design.

Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:
