I'm New

[Wood N Works]

Hello everyone I am new to this site. I live in Houston, Texas and recently became an addict to the world of pen turning. It is a rather enjoyable sport, one of which I can't get enough of. IAP has already answered some questions that I had. I love this site and look forward to meeting some of you in the future.

Welcome Jeremy. It is fun, and frustrating, and money eating, and sometimes monetarily rewarding! :biggrin:

Below are links to three 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. It may help some.

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