Hello everyone,

I have just started on the pen making journey after having purchased a midi lathe and tools. I've only made about 5 pens and now I'm looking to make some cigar stands as well.

I've always loved wood working, and working with my hands in general, and so far I'm loving it. My education so far is Youtube but I prefer the personal aspect to the hobby. Hopefully there are some members near me, San Diego, that are willing to meet and turn together. If not, I hope you don't mind if I pick your brains for any answers I can't find from searches.

Thanks for having me.

James

Thank you for the welcomes everyone.

Hi James! Welcome from Bonsall (northern SD county) -- I'd love to get together sometime.

Sounds good and hopefully we can figure something out. Thanks for the welcome.

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. My daughter currently lives in Chico and I'll be up there for her bday next month. Glad to hear you didn't get swept away from the damn issues in Oroville?! :)

Welcome form Oceanside, there are several So. Cal turners. Make sure to attend the San Diego county fair and check out the wood working area.
