Hello all,
To answer to old saying, yes, this is my first day on the job. New member here today, turned my first pen 2 days ago. It came out bad. The first lesson I learned was ORDER THE BUSHINGS THAT MATCH THE KIT. Got a cheap starter kit, thought bushings were in it. So my first turn was a crap shoot and my wood to metal fit is horrible. My OCD wont tolerate that. Plus, my son suggested the shape of the lower section, which is very comfortable, but ugly. Reminds me of in the past women putting on tight corsets to reduce waist size, but still had a big butt. But thats just me. The maple came from a tree I cut down and was splitting for firewood and it just spoke to me and said save me. That was 20 years ago.
This pic represents rock bottom for me, a place to start.
