Great to have a young one here. Again, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Trivia question for you Anthony, Who was Saint Barbara and what was she the patron saint of?

Has nothing to do with pen turning, well almost nothing!

Welcome Anthony I sure hope you enjoy the wealth of information that can be found here not only in the site Library but also within the people. I feel confident in saying that if you have questions that someone on here will have the answer or be able to point you in the right direction to find it. Jump on in and have some fun. I am a total newbie up until about a month ago I had never "really" made anything on a lathe besides saw dust. Thanks for introducing yourself. Len from Pennsylvania.

Welcome Anthony.

Below are links to two threads/articles that have lots of information on pen turning. The first one is a very basic overview of the many aspects of getting into turning pens.
http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=42446

The second link has postings by different pen turners and what they wish they had known earlier:

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
