G'day from Victoria Australia

[shedbound]

G'day folks, I must say i'm very happy to have found your forum and have lots of exploring to do. I am a carpenter by trade, tending more towards working from home, I love milling timber especially Australian blackwood. I have sap in my veins. I have been turning since I was a teenager and first introduced to the lathe when I was just a kid. Due to money restraints I havn't done many pens, however I did do a few over the holiday period as presents.
I have recently upgraded my lathe(to one that spins true).
Anyhow, i have a thirst for knowledge, and look forward to making new aquaintances.[
I'm not 100% sure how to upload pics so I hope this works.

Welcome! It looks like you are an experienced turner. Look in the library for a ton of information. You have found the right place for expanding your knowledge of pen turning.

Hi Joel; I see you are a member of the Aussie forum. Too bad you didn't sign up for the 2013 Australia Day pen swap!

Nevertheless, welcome to the IAP, where you will find more info than one's brain can process at times! (for me at least!)

Welcome from Little Rock, AR. Good looking group of pens. I like the Euros the best, but I guess it's because I like that kit.

thanks for all the hearty welcome folks,
Mack C.- I'm not sure what the pen swap entailed, I will look into that for next year. I like to get involved in things when possible. I have had a quick look around the site and must say i am very impressed with what I've seen so far, certainly a knowledgeable bunch here.
