Welcome Brian. Join in the fun. This is a great hobby for making a little money or just being creative.

Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:
