Hello all I am from Bonham a small town in north Texas. I haven't been turning for long and dont know much about it. I have completed about 10 pens so far and will include pics in album. I have been into woodworking of other sorts for quite awhile. Hopefully I will learn quite a bit being here.

Thanks for letting me join.

James

Welcome James. From your photos, it looks like you are off to a great start!

I am including a link to a PDF file that goes over many aspects of pen turning from finish - to pens - to tools - to methods etc. It is not in detail but a good overview for pen turning. Hope it helps and I hope you don't get discouraged from all of the "tools" mentioned. :eek:

Also included below is a link to a new post that gives some information that people wished they had known earlier in pen turning. Some good information by those that make pens.

Hi James

Welcome from getting winter quickly down under over here.

When i came to here the nations Capital population was 10000 now about 390000, still as a country town to me.

Enjoy your turning and share often.

Regards Peter.
