Hey Penturner world. I am new from Utah to this site and hoping that someone can tell me if there is a place locally that will teach seminars on Penturning. I don't know how to do it, but I want to learn. I found a place that teaches everything but penturning, but haven't found anyone that teaches penturning. Any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated.
New Guy from Utah and Needing serious help!

Check u-tube and for hands on look for a local chapter of IAP.
Welcome...
Not sure where in Utah you are but the Woodcraft in Sandy has classes just about every week. One of the instructors is a member here.
Cheers

Welcome to the IAP. Enjoy the site..
Definitely check out Woodcraft. The class is designed with new turners in mind. It can be very helpful.

Think about attending the Desert Woodturning Roundup in Mesa in February -- Don Ward (its virgil) will be a presenter. Don is a master penmaker.
Also think about attending the pen turning gathering held in conjunction with the Utah Woodturners Symposium in Provo in the later spring. Both will provide great networking and lots of discussion/learning opportunity.
Also check for local turning groups -- IAP or American Association of Woodturners Chapters. Expect some overlap between the two groups.

Where in Utah? I live in Provo and there is a club type meeting held at CSUSA every other month. I have never been to it but it sounds fun.

Utah, has 4 AAW groups listed. Don't know if close or not. Check out www.woodturner.org . Go to (find a chapter) and click in your state.
I am in two of these clubs and they both have penturners in them. I travel over 100 miles to one of these clubs once a month, and have driven from south Arkansas to Springfied MO. for an IAP meeting and back home the same day.

There are many penturners here at IAP that are also vendors selling various types of tools, equipment and supplies. Many of the post in the Business Classified and Most Valued Vendor forum - the links are found under "FORUM" on the first blue line above.
