Well, I've done it now

[Titanium15]

I am new to pen turning, and this site. I am not a real big user of websites, as I have been treated poorly on a couple others. I have been lurking, reading the library postings, reading the other things on the site, and decided that I would take a chance on getting on the site.
So, Hi from the Northern corner of Wisconsin, just across the river from Duluth, MN.

Lots of nice folks here. They are also very willing to help.

Thank you

Thank you one and all for your kind greetings! As I said, I have been lurking on the site for while, and really did not think that there would be too many people that are not kind and helpful.
Curt, you said your friend was kinda weird. That is almost normal in my world! The way I look at life is this. Normal is just a setting on the dryer.
Steve, you don't head up to the North woods anymore. How can you not, you miss the bone chilling cold, the black flies that are the most bloodthirsty things on the face of the earth, and the mosquito's that are so big you need a baseball bat to take them out. How do you get through the year with out all that?
I am looking forward to learning from all of you about this obsession we call pen turning. At least my wife says it is an obsession, and I just got started!
Stephen
