Been visiting this site for a long time and thought it was about time to join. I've learned so much in that time and I want to thank everybody for that. I've been making pens for many years, mostly for gifts and fun. Working on my pen photography lately and here is what I have come up with. First pen is a Sierra Elegant Beauty Black Titanium & Titanium Gold with a Spalted Gemelia Burl blank. The second is a Sierra Titanium Gold with a Paela Burl blank.

Welcome Dan, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. What part of Conn. do you hale from? I worked out of Thomaston in '67-68 for Eastern Photo Labs. You mention that you have read some of the site, 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/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
