I am new to the forum as well as turning in general. I have turned a few slim-line pens before but that is about it. I have been lurking for a little while and love the information and help that y'all provide.
My mini lathe should be here in the next few day's and am looking to get going making pens as well as other turning projects.
Looking for suggestions on what would be a good start for me far a tooling goes. Mandrels, drilling fixtures, presses, etc. I am sure I will want to expand on the tooling as time goes buy but I don't mind buying good quality stuff either.
Basically just looking for suggestions on what to get so I can make a decent quality Slim-line, Euro pens etc. I can already see that my interest are am being drawn towards the advanced side of Pen making. However for now just want to get into the swing of things.
Thanks for the help and information.
