I didn't realize pen turning existed until I ran across an article about an Etsy seller. I think I'm hooked :biggrin:
I've been doing a lot of research on tools, materials, etc., this board has been a great resource. Even purchased a book on pen turning from Amazon. I plan to fund my initial equipment purchases through ebay sales, so I've been gathering a lot of "stuff" and putting it on ebay already.
By trade I'm a Network Analyst, which is a fancy way of saying I'm a paid computer geek, at a University. But, I've also worked in a family sheet metal shop and cut concrete for a living.
As soon as I get close to funding, I've considered blogging about my adventures (hopefully good adventures) in pen turning.
I have to say I've seen some amazing artists and pens here. I hope I can gain a fraction of the talent that is here.
