New to pen turning

[bobbyl41]

Hi Jeff
Thank you for letting me join. I have not made any pens yet. I just got a lathe from a friend with a lot of pen parts. I am hoping to learn a lot from the people in this group. Thank you very much.

Welcome Robert! Check out the Library. Lots of good information there. The suppliers that post here are top notch and always ready to go above and beyond in service!

Bobby: Welcome! I just joined yesterday, and have only been turning for a couple of months. My only advice would be to take a class, then practice, practice, practice! Start with whatever scraps or cheap wood you can find. I've also blown up a few acrylic blanks because I wasn't patient enough to go slowly. I find I get in trouble when I try to make one pass too many on the lathe before I begin sanding. Good luck! I've already gotten some great advice from viewing the posts on the different forums. Happy turning!
