Hello everyone I just want to let you know I am a newbie in turning, haven't turned anything yet. I want to start making pens and figuring out what I need to get started.
I have had a Shopsmith since 1982 and never have used the lathe part. Actually I don't have a clue what to do or where to start. Where i live I am not aware of anyone who turns who is close by so I am trying to learn via internet.
I am a member over at WoodNet which I like very much and have had some help and suggestion from a few people there which I appreciate very much.
Some one suggested to come over here so here I am. I am on a fixed income and don't have much money to spend so hoping I can find a few places where to buy and what to buy. I don't want want to buy twice if that makes any sense.
What ever help or suggestions I can get would be much appreciate.
Thank You very much and hoping I can learn a lot and even contribute to this forum in time.
