Hi Folks,
My name is Will. I live in South Florida in a condominium. After 40 years with either a shop or two car garage to operate from, the move to a condo was tough on the wood working. My son got all the big tools. I brought some small stuff and set up in a converted breakfast nook which is also my computer room. My drill press is now a small jewelers style table top. When I decided to give pen making a try, I did some jury-rigging, laid the drill press on it's side and created a very small single purpose (pen turning) lathe.
I've made about 30 pens or so just for fun, giving the best ones away. Dust control is my biggest challenge, but I'm really enjoying my miniature shop. When the administrators give me an album account, I might post a couple of pictures.
Thanks to all you old timers who post. I've learned a lot.
