Greetings All,

New member from Baytown, 30 miles east of Houston in the great state of Texas.

I enjoy woodworking and am interested in making pens for gifts to family and friends. I joined IAP forums after hearing about it from jbswearingen at Woodnet forums.

I spent yesterday afternoon watching various U tube videos about pen turning and reading all about various kits, tools and wood. More stuff / toys to buy. Woo Hoo !!

Welcome Martin, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. You mention that you have read some of the site, be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. You might also want to give this thread a good look. It has some very good info for the beginning pen turner; http://content.penturners.org/library/general_reference/Getting_started_in_pen_turning.pdf. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.

Hi Martin, I'm new here too. I look forward to learning more about pen turning from everyone. I'm NW of College Station (but out in the middle of no-where!!). Jamie
