Howdy everyone! I just got my lathe about one month ago and am new to turing. Trying my hand at bowls and pens. Look forward to showing off a few pens after i get started here and have a few I can post. I have enjoyed looking around the site so far and have seen some very nice pens and gotten some great ideas from other members for my future projects.

Welcome Dave, 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.

Thanks everyone for the great welcome! I will take a look at the Library, didn't even notice it. The lathe I have is a Delta 46-460 and so far I, or should say we (my wife also enjoys using it), have had fun turning a few small bowls on it. Thanks again for the replys and as soon as I get few pens turned I will get pictures posted :smile:.
