I have just joined this group, and will post my current frustration in the finishing portion of the site soon. However, I would like to introduce myself first.
I live in Livermore, California which is about 40 miles due east of San Francisco. I retired in 2002 from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory after 35+ years, mostly in the security end of things. I am 72, and have just recently started pen turning and I LOVE it!
I was introduced to the 'how to' side by a very good friend who shared his talent, enthusiasm, and his lathe (until I got my own) and most of the things I needed to go with it. I fear this is a slippery slope.... My wife points out that so far the pens I have made are worth $150 each!
I have turned 7 or 8 pens so far, and have restricted my experience to slimline pens thus far. I look forward to expanding into other styles soon.
In advance, thank you for your advice and counsel. Your site was recommended by two members and I already feel welcomed.
