My name is Ron and I live in Bush, Louisiana. I've been wood working for a few years now and have finally decided to try my hand at pen turning. Just invested the money in a new Delta 46-460 after reading the reviews here and a couple of other sites. Placed an order for the other necessities, which should be delivered this coming Monday. Wish me luck!!!!

Just so you know, now that you are committed, the need to make pens just keeps getting stronger. Then the need to buy more pen stuff follows. Et cetera, et cetera and so forth...

Welcome Ron, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
