Welcome Richard, to a great deal of fun! :biggrin:

I am including a link to a PDF file that goes over many aspects of pen turning from finish to pens to tools to methods etc. It is not in detail or comprehensive but a good overview of pen turning. Hope it helps.

Hmm.. no link, it's a live event. We meet usually every other month at the
Woodcraft store in West Springfield, MA. People come up from CT, drive over
from ME, MA and some of us come down from VT and NH. It's a good meet,
good people, lots of info, demos, blanks swaps, show & tell etc..

Bring your family if you want..bring blanks, bring your favorite chisel if you
want. They have a lathe there for demos and we get discounts on purchases
too.

My name isn't Ernie Boch.. but COME ON DOWN! :biggrin:

 

[Rchan63]

Thanks for the info sounds like good times.
