Just wanted to stop in and say hello. So Hi everybody! Anyway I found this place when I was looking around for answers to noobie questions and I find my self using the search function here on about a daily basis. Thanks for all the great information you guys have posted here and the pictures are an inspiration to keep going in this addicting hobby. I will try and get some pictures of my recent pens up in the gallery here sometime for some critiquing from you guys.

Welcome Nate, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. You mention that you have read some of the site, be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
