Hi all, I'm Smitty. I live in a small city in central Delaware.

I've been turning pens for about 2 years...I use a mini lathe, mostly wood blanks and turn about 50% slimline pens. I also have a small business selling pen kits (mostly fancy slimline kits) on eBay, at eBid and in an on line store.

Welcome Smitty! You are probably familiar with some of this. But FYI, below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning.

The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
