Hello all from N Colorado! I have been a woodworking enthusiast for many years, but I was afraid if I ever got a lathe, I would get into it so much I would never leave the shop. I took my Grand daughter to Woodcraft to a pen making class, and she was so thrilled that she talked my daughter and son in law into getting me a lathe for Christmas. Now I live mostly in the shop.

Welcome Dave, 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.

Welcome to the addiction. What part of Northern Colorado are you in? I lived in Ft. Collins for a number of years.

Welcome from the Mile High City. Where up north? I know there is a member in Ault and I get up to Pierce every few months. Glad you Grand Daughter enjoyed it.
