Howdy from just south of Birmingham, AL, y'all!

Brand new to woodturning, but not new to woodworking. I make frames, toys, furniture, puzzle boxes, you name it... but always wanted to try turning.

I bought a WHIPPED old PSI tiny lathe from a guy a few years back, and only recently put it into action. I knew quick I needed something bigger. I saved up and bought a brand new Delta lathe just a few days ago. I've already got a LOT of $$ invested in that thing and accessories and have yet to produce anything from it! :rolleyes:

Practice, practice...

Welcome Joel, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/librar...en_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
