Been following this forum for a few years but didn't have the knowledge or equipment to turn pens. Made the plunge in June '16 and attended the Marc Adams school of woodworking for a 5 day class with Barry Gross. Needless to say I'm hooked and many thousands of dollars later I'm finally turning some pens. I've picked up so much information from this forum and the schooling that I feel I have avoided a lot of the mistakes I would have made just going at it alone. But trust me I've still made lots of mistakes. So thanks to all the contributors who take the time to post and share their knowledge that eases the way for us newbies.
Not sure if this is the place to post pictures but I'll post a few of my pens.

Welcome to the site. Hope you stick around and continue to show us your work. Have to say you did some very nice pens and you have covered a variety of different techniques in doing so. You are well on your way and hope that you continue to grow with the hobby and someday show us something that others have never done before. We are always on the look out for things like that. happy turning.:)

Welcome Jerry, from Sydney Australia.
You certainly have got off to a Flying Start.
Your Pens are Magnificent, and you have gotten your Hands onto some Glorious Blanks.
Great Fit and Superb Finish.
There is a Special Forum "Show Off Your Pens" where possibly more Members will get to See, Critique, and Review, your Pens.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.
Brian.
