I love doing woodworking. I started on a lathe very young turned a baseball bat. Then took a woodshop class made a lamp. Last year I bought my own lathe it was used and needed work. It is called a Smithy super shop. It has been very hard to set up for pens but i've managed. I came across this site and thought it would give me some ideas. I don't plan on selling my pens I get more enjoyment giving them away. I feel if I make money it now is a job and not a hobby and people enjoy my work more. The only problem this is a expensive hobby. I would post pictures of the pens i've made ,but I am lacking computer skills to know how to.
