Hobbyist from Houston,TX

Hello everyone my name is Meliton.

I am new to the pen turning hobby, so I have a lot to learn. I am mainly focusing on resin fountain pens but who knows where this new path will lead me.

I think I have ordered all the parts I need to hit the ground running. Mini lathe was purchased from Little Machine Shop and should arrive sometime next week. Everything else is trickling in from various sources. I am starting with single lead taps/dies to get a hand of things and will move to triple lead taps as I get more comfortable.

Wish me luck.
