Hello from Linden VA. Giving pen turning a try. Knocked out my first few. Love the process. 30 years of belt on construction. Looking forward to learning.
I have only been doing this since October, but have made 24 pens so far. The process is like therapy to me.
Have fun! The information on this site is like drinking from the firehose! Some incredibly talented and super nice people on this forum to help us noob's along!
