Hi! My name is Victor, I am a Master Mason (Noblesville Lodge #57) and I retired from the Army as a tanker after 22 years of service (7 years in the Navy and 15 years in the Army). I have been turning pens for a few months now but want to get a bit more serious with it while still having fun. I have been thinking of getting into resins and blank making. I hope to gain knowledge and get some honest feedback on what I make as well as improving my technique. I don't want to give the craft a bad name so I want to soak as much knowledge as possible. I mainly make items for friends and family (at cost most of the time lol) because I enjoy making them. Hope to hear from you all and learn. Be blessed and be safe!

Welcome aboard, Victor. I am in Washington, Indiana having moved from Franklin a year ago. If you haven't found them yet, look up WoodTurningz as they are your neighbor and have local counter sales in addition to their website.

I love Woodturningz!! They are about 5 minutes from my house (I live in Noblesville). Pat always gives me great advice and I spoke to him for months before purchasing my lathe so bless his patience.

Thank you. I also check out Rockler when in a pinch and can't get to Woodturningz during the week days. Although 90% of their pen blanks are from Woodturningz.
