hey guys,

just wanted to say hey and introduce myself. my name is Lenny and my woodworking brand is Weatherbee Woodworks. Im new to pen turning as of a few months ago but I've really taken to it and seen great results. Im originally a master luthier but decided i wanted t try pens for some odd reason haha. heres a few examples of what I've done so far. Any tips, tricks, or recommendations are greatly appreciated! thank you!!

p.s. I've realized i hate click pens so much after having a few mechanisms get stuck a couple weeks into its life as a pen. smh.

Welcome from the other end of the state (Western....)

Pens look great, If you're up for a drive, we're putting together a local chapter meeting in West Springfield (right near the Big E if you are familiar with that at all) near the beginning of March... Probably about 1 1/2 hour drive depending on where in Boston you are...

I would definitely be down to do that! what date is it? and are there any meetings or "clubs" near the foxboro, ma area? I'm also close to rhode island where i am if that helps

Welcome, Lenny !! I admire your work ! But don't knock *all* of the click pens .... the Sierra click is one of my favorite kits. Don't particularly like the Longwood clicker though and I haven't tried any of the PSI clickers.

thank you kindly!!! i will have to try some sierra's for sure next time with an order. i love the idea of the click pen it just seems that id be better off taking a pilot g2 for 2$ than a custom click. the psi clickers are nice when they work but when they don't, its a nightmare getting it apart and fixing it
