Let me introduce myself, I'm Marty from Cedar Park, TX, and I'm now addicted to turning pens.
I've been doing woodworking for a long time but never turned. Wife signed me up for a Woodcraft class as an early xmas present. I brought home a couple decent pens, and she said, what would it take to be able to make more of those... Two months later, own a JET, and totally hooked.
I've made a lot of mistakes, but learning what to do and what not to do. About a quarter of my pens have been failures mostly due to CA getting where it shouldn't be, blown blanks during drilling, pressing the tip on two hard, etc. But it sure was nice to have some smiles on faces when xmas presents were opened.
I've been reading many topics from various posters, and I'd like to complement everyone - this is a great resource.
