Ready Pen Man

[readypenman]

Hello my name is J. Michael and I have been turning pens for about 2 months. I am new to wood turning but I have always had an interest in it and have wanted a lathe for years. I finally got a lathe and began to learn how to turn! I turned 60 years old on Saturday June 2, and I am a pastor, singer, songwriter, musician and recording artist! Wood turning for me is a chance to have some time alone! Thanks for this informative website. I look forward to reading all the good information.

Welcome to the madness. I like this hobby because it is a great way to de stress at the end of a rough day and gives you time to think.

Thanks "Displaced." I usually start my day with coffee, my Bible reading, then the woodshop! I enjoy the quiet of the early morning! As a pastor I never know what a day may bring, so I like to begin each day alone and quiet.

Welcome. Let us know where you're from. Chances are there is a local chapter near you. It's a great way to meet turners in your area.

Welcome! The nice thing is, pen making can be a quiet hobby, or a business, or both. There is plenty of room on the continuum to do what you would like to do.

Welcome from another pastor. I do those other things too but you probably do them more and better than me. But I have 20 years to get to where you are.
