Hi folks,
Just 'found' this site last night, so I thought I'd sign up. I'm a newbie when it comes to the world of spinny things. Just picked up a Delta midi lathe this spring, and only recently got it into action. Buddy of mine graciously taught me how to set up and turn a pen recently, and that's his Jet that I'm turning on in the photo above, plus in my avatar.
I had the great fortune to visit Bill Grumbine's shop lasts fall and try out his Robust...
yeah, that's not a pen, but hey, it was perhaps the third time I ever put tool to wood on a lathe. Yep, I'm hooked... want a Robust someday... when I hit the Lottery!:rotfl:
Here's the pen I was working on at Don's shop
Mahagony slimline with basic gold kit from Woodcraft.
and another I did the same day
Spalted Maple on that one.
Looking forward to seeing what folks are turning here, picking up some tips and sharing the fun!
