New in TN

[Btimson]

Found this site and it has a bunch of learning tecniques I have been turning pens for a few years now. I am just now having the time to venture into the harder ones. I just did a Valentines inlay teddy bear for my wife on valentines day and loved it,did a coffee bean blank I can honestly say probably wont do one of them again. My favorite pen to turn is the Sierra or the wall street depending who you shop with. Well thanks again for allowing a site like this to exist.

Below are links to two 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.

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

Here is another link - a PDF on the acronyms used here. I am sure you know many but this will help with those you don't.
