Howdy, I'm Bob Farrier from Owasso Ok. Been turning pens now for about 4 months. I saw a magazine article on making a bullet pen from a once fired rifle cartridge. Well I'm hooked on pens now. The response from the sales has been amazing, I had no idea. Guess you could call me a brass recycler now. I can't wait to explore this site some more. Thanks for having me. Bob

Hi bob, I also live in Owasso. I have been turning about as long as you have. I just ordered some bullet kits off Ebay to see how they work out.

Welcome Bob, 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.
