Hello from the Pacific Northwest

[SteveH]

Hi all

I have been lurking around the site for a couple of weeks. This looks like a great place and I decided to join in the fun. A little about me, I have been turning off and on for a few years (barely a novice) and have even done a few pens (hope to do more soon). I just retired last week so now the adventure can begin...

Welcome to the wonderful world of pens. I retired almost six years ago and I don't know where the time goes! Anyway enjoy the retirement and love the lathe.

Welcome from another retiree from Texas. I have traveled your area on business in the past and think that part of the world is outstanding.

I've only been a member for a few months and I've learned alot in that short time..also have spent a small fortune in that time too!

Retirement for me in 8 years, not that I'm counting []

Welcome from a S/W Washington (Washougal) penturner!!! Great to see all the Washington folk!!! I'll be 62 Saturday, so will very soon be taking things a little slower myself---although, hopefully my penmaking will pick back up a bit.
