Thanks for letting me introduce myself. I've been turning pens for about 5 years as a low-key hobby. After a day at the office, turning a couple of pens has become my "go-to" way to relax. I've gotten into the habit of placing an annual bulk order of silver slimline kits; buying a few large boards and then turning them out pretty fast. My priorities are that of a hobbyist: keeping it safe and fun; experimenting creatively; constantly refining my process; and gifting hand-made pens to friends and co-workers.
I look forward to poking around this site for inspiration and advice.
Thanks to everyone who shares their time and talents for the benefit of others.

To date I have used slimline kits exclusively without getting tired of them. The only thing which got on my nerves was the silver center band. I typically turn new ones from scrap wood. Has anyone found interesting and wallet-friendly substitutes for the bands?
