Hello everybody! My names Ben, and I'm from Franklin Georgia. Franklin is about 45 minutes outside of Atlanta. I'm a complete beginner at turning anything.
I've always wanted to turn pens but never bought the stuff to get started. My wife and I were at an arts and crafts fair recently and once again I started talking about wanting to make pens. My wife told me to shut up and buy a lathe so I did. So far I love it. I just finished a pen from a blank I actually cut from a raw piece of wood and I put on my first attempt at a CA finish.
This forum has been a great source of information, and I just want to say thanks to everybody. I also uploaded a couple of pen pictures as well, so feel free to jump over to the show your pens topic and take a look.
Thanks
Ben
