That's Portsmouth, VA for those who want to know. My name is Michael and I'm new to most forms of woodwork, though in a prior life I have done some machining. Here's a picture of my first pen.

Michael,

Welcome fellow PTowner! We just had a meeting in PTown last Sunday with about 6 other penturners. You will have to get involved with the next one!

Enjoy. There is a ton of information here. Don't let it overwhelm you!

Welcome Michael to the friendlyist pen turning site on the web. I wish my first pen looked anything near as good as yours does.

Mike, Welcome to the forum. As mentioned before the "local" meeting was very interesting. Even though I am fairly new to pen turning also, I did not feel out of place amoungst the experts.
Here is the forum for the group: Hampton RDs VA Members

Welcome to the Forum, Michael.

Nice first pen. Be sure to keep it for comparison purposes many months down the road. You will find that your skills definitely inprove over a span of time.
