Hello all from the great state of Ohio! I began turning pens several years ago, along with my sons when they are home from school and the Army. I am ready to advance from kits to completely making all our own tube parts. I have "lurked in the shadows" here from time to time over the years but decided I should actually join and try to get some tips and advice in taking my next big step away from kits. Any and all advice would be appreciated, and maybe there are some things I might have enough experience one day to help others myself.
