Hi All,

Just signed up and what an impressive forum. I'm from Melbourne, Australia and apart from making the odd pen, I enjoy wood turning (in general) and making wood toys. I generally like to look and learn from these forums and contribute when I can.

Hope you're all not too cold over there, I've heard it's not too flash at the moment. We've had a mild summer here so far, not too hot.

Hope to see you around sometime. I'll post a couple of pens Ive just made in another thread after this. I'm fairly new at this game however do like feedback.

Cheers, Scott.

Welcome Scott, 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.

Thanks Charles, I've already spent some (way too much) time on the library, some excellent resources there.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Scott.
