Hi everybody. I am new to this forum, I turn pens as a hobby, I also do demonstrations to local general interest groups, ie WI, Church Fellowships, Probus Clubs etc.

I am from the Grtr Manchester (UK) area, always interested in new ideas, and would like to make contact with like minded turners in the UK. Do we have a group?
Is there anybody out there?

Regards

Brian H

Welcome Brian. This is a great hobby and yes, there are some UK folks here. Not sure how close they are to you.

I am including a link to a PDF (file on this site) that gives a general overview of many aspects of pen turning as it relates to tool, methods, pens and finishes. You have been making pens for a while and most, if not all, it will be familiar to you. I usually post this to all new members in case it can help in some way.
