Welcome! I live in Rochester (Henrietta) also! John is in Waterloo and there are 2 members in Buffalo! At this rate we may be able to form a Western NY Chapter!

Welcome from your Home Town

Rodney,
I live in the Perinton / Pittsford area and have been making pens for a year. also. I would post my pens but I give them all away. The initial idea was to make some money, but I am not the first to be led down that path!
A W.NY Chapter sounds like a great idea too.

HI ROD,
Glad that you found these wonderful people who are so helpful and so invigorating in pen making. I love to go to Rochester to Woodcraft for pen supplies when we can. I live upstate near Massena. We should all set up a coffee date those that live in this area. Welcome....you will be addicted.......

Welcome. 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.
