Hello all, just a little bit about me, I live in Norfolk England I am 27, I have been a cabinet maker from school and I have just got into turning, I have been turning bowls and a vase but now I'm loving turning pens! Going into my shop and coming out with a finished pen a while later, I am hoping to learn lots from everybody here and I'm already making a 360 segmented pen blank, here are a few of the things I have made, thanks for reading!

Thanks everyone, I'm still watching videos on you tube now, 1.30am here, I would like to have a go at casting some of my own blanks, like a burl and resin blank, does anyone have a link to any videos on it?

You are onto a great start. Your pens or spectacular and the vase is top shelf. Keep up the good work and don't stop being creative.

We have all been there Jimbo. Over time it does get a little easier, until the good weather comes and it's not too cold to stand in the garage, then it just comes right on back. As yet there is no known cure.
