Hello from Pahrump, Nevada

[young woodworker]

Hello, my name is David, and I have been turning pens for about 2 weeks now. I bought a lathe back in July and I practiced a little with spindle turning. Then I saw that you could make pens on the lathe and I was immediately interested. So far I have had lots of fun and I hope to learn more.

Pahrump - reminds me of a Monty Python Movie...."I didn't get a Pahrump (harrump) out of that guy!"

Regardless - welcome to the club!

Welcome David. Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

I'm putting a few links in here for reference –
This link has postings by different pen turners on what they wish they had known earlier:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=46654

This link tells of some "out of the box" tools/aids for pen turners http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66178

This one is a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't. http://content.penturners.org/articl...9/Acronyms.pdf

Welcome aboard, this is a great place to learn unbelievable techniques on pen turning, also there are a couple other pen turners from Pahrump on the site and several from Las Vegas as well.

Welcome to the club! I moved from Pahrump last year back to Pennsylvania. I miss the area out there!

I believe I have shipped to Pahrump!!

I'm guessing you have a neighbor that is a member here, too.

Welcome!!

Actually, it was a Mel Brooks film - Blazing Saddles. :biggrin:
