Hello, I am new to your site but have been turning for 3 years. Started as a hobbie and now I have been sucked into the vortex. I love turning pens but I also enjoy turning bowls, lidded boxes and pepper mills. Anything that spins. Learned to turn from John Butcher at the GoggleWorks in Reading PA.
I just turned my first Acra-Pack pen blank from Steebar and love the results. The dust is not so fun!!
The work I've seen on the site is amazing. I hope one day I will be that good!!

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.
