Hello there. I came across this forum while I was looking for information about building a cyclone or drop-box.
I live in Glasgow, Scotland and I am a retired Technical Teacher. I did very little woodturning when I was teaching, although I taught the rudiments of bowl and spindle turning. It is only since I retired and bought a small Fox lathe (similar to your Jet) that I have become more interested in turning. Turning pens seem a good way to become more proficient with the art/skill and I'm looking forward to trying the techniques out. I'll try and keep you posted with my success and, predicted failures, (hopefully not too many).
Unfortunately space is at a premium in my garage at this time. I have to move three motorcycles to get at my woodworking machinery. I hope to sell one of the bikes soon, but I have to fix it up first, but as procrastination is one of my skills, it may take me a little time.
As I've said, I have only discovered the forum but I've dipped into several topics and you seem to be a sincere, freindly and helpful group of people and I hope I can soon contribute as well as learn.
