hi everyone,
i,ve been turning pens for around six months now, using a very old and basic lathe, a clarke cwl6b. Having bought this with a psi pen mandrel thrown in i became curious. Hopefully i,ll be posting some of my efforts soon, when the pens stay in my possesion long enough for me to photograph them :biggrin:

Welcome Rich, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
