Hello everyone. My name's Brian and I recently became addicted to turning. I got started by taking a pen turning class at Woodcraft. I'm not interest in trying to make a living doing this, as much as simply trying to make the best pens I can.

Welcome Brian, not everyone here makes their living at pen making in fact few do. Most of us range from just a hobby to hope it pays enough to support the addiction. We have some very talented pen turners and almost all of them will be happy to answer your questions. Except for the one grumpy member.:) Post the pens you make as you go and they will be glad to help you when you need improving if you do.

Well excuse me........ the one happiness challenged member:biggrin:

Welcome to the IAP the worlds greatest collection of pen turning knowledge, and don't worry about trying to make a living out of turning pens, just have all the fun you can and make the best pens that you can as well. If you have any questions, there is always someone that can help or at least guide you in the right direction.

Welcome from Georgia. I'm pretty new at pen making, too. You will find a ton of information on this site. Visit often and don't be afraid to ask questions and look around at the forums and library for topics.

Glad you're here.

Welcome from Georgia!

Good luck supporting the addiction!

Sometimes I feel like IAP site is like an AA meeting, "Hi, my name is Gary and I'm a pen turner....."
