hello from Franklin, Tn

[larry dunlap]

I am a new pen turner. I got laid off from my job at a publishing co. in December and decided to just retire. My wife pushed pen turning on me and now I'm hooked.
I also pastor a small church in the country. I am enjoying reading the comments in the forum.

Welcome from Ohio! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Here is a link to a PDF file that goes over many aspects of pen turning from finish - to pens - to tools - to methods etc. It is not in detail but a good overview for pen turning.

Welcome Larry, all the way from Japan. You are not too far from one of my favorite places - Brentwood, home of Hobby Lobby model planes. Your home town in MS is being overtaken by a new Toyota Prius plant - when the economy picks back up.

Join in the fun here. If you have questions, just ask us. Enjoy making pens too!

Welcome from Louisiana. There are a great bunch of people here at IAP, join in on the fun, the addiction of pens, and just ask questions when you need some help. The answers are all here somewhere.
