New Joiner from the UK

[mikeschurer]

My name is Mike Schurer, otherwise known as Mike the Pipe because of a nicotine addiction. I have been turning for about 15 years and I am a member of the Kennet Valley Woodturners. I attend a local market most weeks and have an outlet in a brewery shop, yes beer is another interest. I do a lot of different events on the run up to Christmas.

I would be interested toknow if there are many other pen makers from the UK.

Mike, welcome from far west Kentucky to the IAP. Join in the madness. There are several members from the UK on here. You should be getting responses soon. Oh, yes, while you are waiting, check out the library here for a wealth of info about pen making. Make shavings and keep smiling.
