Hello..rookie from NJ

[JJKEVANT]

Hello all. I just started pen turning late January. I've been talking about wanting to do this for years after seeing someone at a Xmas craft show . Wife bought me a mini lathe for this past Xmas and I ran with it. Have only made 4 pens so far. Very excited about doing so much more.

Welcome Kevin, from Kevin. Formerly from Long Valley, now Lavallette. Welcome also to the penturning vortex - lol.....might suggest you check out the NJ Woodturning club - meets in Roseland, but the President of the chapter lives in the same town as you. Hope you enjoy the forums here....lots of great people sharing their knowledge.
