Hi all,
Been a member of another pen forum for years. Saw a great looking pen that was custom made by the member. He graciously pointed me to this forum. So here I am, with zero pen turning experience seeking knowledge.
Thanks!
Jay

Welcome Jay, 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/librar...en_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. My daughter and her family just moved in that area. Kind of weird weather there lately also it seems (cool).

Welcome from San Francisco. Find a local turning club you will learn a lot of information and find people who can help you get started and turning. There is a great turning club in San Diego.
