Hello from Roscoe, IL

[whegge]

Just a quick intro. New to turning. Bought my first lathe at a garage sale for $75. Took a class at Woodcraft about a year ago. Finally, turned my basement in to a workshop and bought a better lathe.

I have turned about 6 pens now and several bowls. Lovin every minute of it!

Welcome Wes. I'm 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:

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
