Just thought I would say hello to all !!!
Im new to pen turning but have been woodworking for many years. I was a HS shop and technology teacher in Wisconsin for several years before moving to MO. I do some odd & end "projects" and have been helping my father working with his CNC carver. I fell upon a small lot of real Brazilian Rosewood, so thought I would turn some pens...ends up, its kinda fun !!

Anyway, have alredy found a wealth of information here...hope I can share some of my own in the future.

Welcome Brad, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. You mention that you have read some of the site, 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.
