Hi James, welcome to the site. A looooong time ago I spent 3 1/2 years at Whiting field just up the road from you.
 
Welcome to turnning, specifically pens. Now you may find something odd happening to you....its like a magnet drawing you to this site. Dont fight it, its not under your control anymore and there is no cure!
 
Gary, we may have slightly overlapped. I did some great partying in Pensacola during both active duty and while a reservist. It was so long ago that all the statutes of limitation have long since expired!
 
Welcome James. Please post some picts of your work and join in the fun here.

Below 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 a detail of each part, but a good overview for pen turning. Hope it helps.

Also included below is a link to a new post that gives some information that people wished they had known earlier in pen turning. Some good information by those that make pens.
