Hello from Abbeville, SC

I only took up making pens a couple of weeks ago. Have made about 10 slimline, which need a lot of work.

I found this site while surfing the web. Wish I had found it sooner. Lots of good reading and talented turners.

Welcome Dave. Hold on. It's a wild ride!

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.

You will find it very addictive! But the good news is many of the wonderful people here are also vendors of what we crave and they will help feed your addiction!!! :biggrin:

Hello Dave from the next county over. I'd like to invite you to the Greenwood Woodworking club that meets this coming Saturday. Just send me a PM if you're interested and I'll send back my phone number (or look me up in the phone book). There are a couple of us in the Greenwood/Ware Shoals/ Abbeville area. We'll have to get together for some penturning.

Hey Dave! Welcome from a new user as well!

Hi Dave, I'm new as well, have only made one pen - it didn't finish right so I have a lot of practice to do :frown:

 

[fiferb]
