Hello From A New Member In IL

[BillyBoy63]

Hello My name is William
Been doing woodworking and scroll sawing Fert work for 35 years.
Now jumped into pen turning bought Delta 46-460 mini lathe about 2 months ago turned 2 wood pens jumped into the Acrylic's and been there every since just love it.
I got forced into retiring from my job of 34 years due to health reasons
so I built my lathe stand so the lathe is at a 35 degree angle and I can set and turn pen.
hope to learn a lot here and glad to be a member.
thanks
William / BillyBoy63
