Hello from Pennsylvania!

[pprioli]

Hi everyone! My name is Pam, and I'm pretty new to turning. I've been making pens and such for almost a year now, and I love it. I'm happy to have found an online community that I can turn to (sorry, no pun intended...).

Hi Pam and welcome. Great pun even if it wasn't intended. Where in PA are you located? We have a pretty fair number of PA members and you might be near one or more of us.

Welcome Pam. Great to have you here!

So, below is a link to a PDF file that gives a general overview of tools, methods, pens and options that might be helpful in making pens. It does not go into detail of the many aspects at all, but just gives a general overview and options. There are a few minor mistakes that will hopefully be corrected in the near future but overall it gives some basic directions.

Pam, I'm not too far away at all since I live in the Williamsport area.

Hi Pam,

Nice to see more of us ladies are getting into pen turning. Got to give these guys a run for their money. :wink:
