Hi from the Phoenix area

[Josh Gertz]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop a line and say hi to everyone on the forums. I have been browsing all of the content for a few days now and I think I am sold on trying out Pen Turning.

I even think I sold the old lady as well, I think it was the darts and bottle stoppers that did it.

Now its just time to price out some equipment for the garage...and find some room.

Hi Josh, Welcome to the world of pen turning.

I just sent a PM, it sounds like we're pretty close and I'd be happy to have you over sometime.

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome.

I am sure I will have a lot of questions and will try and post in the appropriate forums when I do have them.

First on my list will likely be equipment but I am going to contact Jason next week to hopefully meet up and learn a bit about turning.

Welcome.

Hey if you're not totally hooked yet, take a trip up to Cave Creek and visit PenWorks. A walk through there and a chat with Tony would do the job...

Welcome Josh.

Below is a link to PDF file that is a general overview of tools, methods, pens and options that might be helpful to you in making pens. It does not go into detail of the many aspects at all, but just gives a general overview and options.
