Hello everyone. I'm actually a regular visitor here and thought I may as well make an account. Everyone here always seems to offer great advice and I hope to learn more from all of you. I started woodturning about 10 years ago but only got serious with it in the last 6 months or so. I will start posting pictures hoping for some constructive criticism very soon.

Welcome Tyler, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/articles/2009/Getting_started_in_penturning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.

Welcome, Tyler, from Bellevue.

I look forward to seeing pictures.

Also, FWIW, we have a local IAP chapter (that meets irregularly), but watch the Local Chapters forum.

Welcome from sunny southern California! My nephew's family lives outside of Seattle. Really nice up there!

Here are a few links you might be interested in now.
This link has postings by different pen turners on what they wish they had known earlier:

This link will lead you to a great place to keep your eye on things. It's kind of a guide to the who, what, and whatever for of the IAP site.

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many of these but this will help with those you don't.
