Hi,
I've been turning for a while and just got bitten but the pen bug.
Crazy addictive little things.

I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you guys, so thanks in advance.

Welcome Mark, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/librar...en_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.

Welcome from Texas and Ruidoso, since we have a house there we spend a lot of time in Ruidoso. Hope to get a small shop built this summer. We should be there sometime later this month.

Let me know if you need any help. I work as a land surveyor and draw architectural plans.
