Hello to everyone!

I wanted to make my first post a thank you to all of you. I have enjoyed this site for a while now. You folks are a wealth of good information.

As for me, I have been turning pens for about a year and a half. I enjoy turning acrylics and have turned my first celtic knot with four rings (walnut with cherry rings).

Thanks again for all the insight.

John

Here is a picture of the last one completed. Sorry for the quality, I have not done much photography and this is with my I-phone.

Welcome John! That's nice work there. Looking forward to seeing more.

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.

Welcome John. Enjoy the madness here. I have to give you a warning - Lots of people join IAP after having made pens for a while - only to find out that we know all KINDS of ways to help you spend money in "improving" the tool acquisitions for pen turning! :eek: :wink: :biggrin: And we even help with turning pens some! :biggrin:

Post some picts of your work!
