I've jumped down the rabbit hole

[mullinswoodworx]

Hi from Northern KY/Cincinnati area. I'm a brand new (less than one month) woodturner and have decided that I want to turn all of the things. Pens have especially sparked an interest. I just picked up a starter kit from the local toy store but haven't turned anything yet. Before starting, I'll dig through some posts and tutorials to get an idea of just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

I've been doing it for around 10 years. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.
