Hello

[Woodchip Keith]

Hello,

I was looking for online resources for pen turning and found IAP. Just browsing the topics, it looks like a ton of information here (big rabbit hole) and helpful folks. I am accumulating some supplies and materials to get started with once my lathe arrives next month. I've been a lifelong woodworker but never made anything round before. I'm excited to have a use for all the scraps I've been hanging onto over the years! In the meantime, I will continue learning vicariously through the forums and hope to offer help to others once I get a clue on what works/doesn't.

Welcome to the center of the pen making universe Keith.
I'm a newcomer as well (started this last November), and have been having a lot of fun with this.
This place is a bit of a black hole WRT time, but so much to learn.
Enjoy.

I'm not doubting your calculation for a minute John-but how did you arrive at that figure or am I missing the joke?

And welcome Keith- Possibly John should add 56 years to his total!!!
