Hello from Texas

[Troy]

Hi. My name's Troy. I'm new (extremely) to pen turning. Got interested in turning watching Nick Zammeti and bensworx. I know they don't turn pens but they got me thinking about getting a lathe.

Welcome! Also in Texas! There is so much to learn here, a great resource.

Hello Troy and welcome.

Welcome. Ask questions as you are getting into a lot. Be forewarned- the lathe can be cheapest part of the venture. We members on this forum will do everything to get you started with the basics. First is a credit card.

Welcome to IAP Troy! Hope you enjoy your new hobby! I might suggest since you are in Texas you might want to think about attending SWAT in August in Waco - one of the larger turning symposiums in the US. They cover general turning and more and more some good pen making skills. https://www.swaturners.org/
