Hi everyone. My nam'e Mike and I'm from Castle Rock, CO. I've been turning pens for about 2 years now and wish I would have found this site before I started. I've made around 200 pens and probably ruined at least that many. I look forward to hanging with all of you.

Mike,

Don't worry, like everyone, you will continue to ruin some pens. :wink:

Glad to have you join us, but according to Stephen King Castle Rock is in Maine. :biggrin:

Welcome to madness! :biggrin: You are not the only one who wished that they had found this forum earlier:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46654

This thread gives some helpful insights too, may of which you already know with your experience.

Another thread (Link to a PDF) is a very basic overview of many aspects of getting into turning pens. Again, you already know much of this but it may have some helpful reading.

And another is below which gives lots of Acronyms that we use often:

POST some picts of your work and join in the fun.
 
Wow, 9 replies on the first day. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I don't ruin too many pens anymore, but I also don't do anything too fancy yet either. That's all going to change now. I can't wait to try some new stuff!
