Welcome from another "Lee" but mine is my family name.

Below is a link to a PDF file that goes over some of the aspects of pen turning from finish - to pens - to tools - to methods etc. It is not a detail of each part, but a good overview for pen turning.

Also included below is a link to a recent post that gives some information that people wished they had known earlier in pen turning. Some good information by those that make pens.

Welcome, Lee.

Better keep on eye on your wallet -- then tend to leap from your pocket and fall open at the sight of a new tools or fancy blank...

With all of the arts that go on in Ojai, you are in a great place to be a turner. There should be great synergy with your turning and other arts when you start to want to embellish your turnings.

I don't get out to Ojai as often as I would like.
