Hello,

Started turning a few months ago and quickly learned that turning pens was what I enjoyed most. I have turned six pens now, and of the six my favorite is the acrylic Vertex pen kit below. Look forward to learning a lot from everyone here! Already have!

Being a fellow Chicagoan (an literally just south of you down by I88) consider joining one of our clubs locally. Chicago Woodturners in Arlington Park / Windy City in Lisle. PM me if you want details. Other then that - glad you joined.

Welcome to IAP, Ryan !!!!

Try painting the inside of the hole in your acrylic blanks ... matching color works well but white seems to work with most blanks.
