Probably the Youngest IAP Member

[Mapster]

I am the youngest person I know of on the IAP. I am 16 years old and live in Fort Myers, Florida. I have been turning pens for about 9 months now. My grandpa gave me a pen, and I decided it would be a fun thing to do. About a month of straight research and a little bit of an investment, and off I went. I never thought I would be where I am today! Here are some pictures of a pen I finished yesterday, going to be my personal pen. Black Titanium Majestic Rollerball with Black and White M3 Mokume. All comments welcome!

Let me introduce you to a young lady in Wisconsin.

Fourteen, I believe.

I know her grandpa (a member here) pretty well, he may give you a "formal introduction" at the next charity ball!!


WELCOME to the IAP!!!

[randbcrafts]

Beautiful work Marshall. Thats a sweet personal pen. Thanks for posting!

Welcome, from Wisconsin.

I think your interest in turning pens is way better than what about 95% of 16 year olds are interested in these days. Keep it up, and if you do get tired of pens, there's a lot of other things you can do with a lathe, not to mention a lot of other types of wood working. Hang in there.

Welcome Marshall and nice job on the pen.

Marshall, Greetings youngster, and Welcome to the Forum!

Amazing pen you have shown us. Very nice indeed! Go for the 'introduction' that Ed has suggested ... she is into wood working as well!

Welcome Marshall! You already seem to know what you're doing by posting a fantastic looking pen but just in case here are some links for you.

This link is - a PDF document on the acronyms used here on the IAP site. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.

Hello Marshall,

I can vouch for Marshall's work. He comes into our Ft. Myers Woodcraft store and he does an superb job! His pens are stunning irrelevant of his age.
Keep up the good work my friend!
