For those wondering, my handle is from Monty Python.
. I've been turning spectacularly mediocre pens off and on for about 8 years. I bought a ShopSmith with all the fixins and turned to their forums for calibration and setup advice. Someone posted a "look what I made" thread with some pens. That year everyone got slimlines for Christmas. I've done some other gifts and even sold a handful.
Now that I'm probably retired, I've had a mind to keep myself out of trouble and out from underfoot by selling on Etsy or at fairs.
I found this site when I searched for causes of chatter using a mandrel. My aim is to improve my skill and learn some turning and finishing techniques to make my pens better.
This site seems to be a great start. I've attached some work I've already done.
