Hello all,

My name is Mike. I live in Albuquerque NM. I am also here to learn and also to communicate with like minded people,
I bought my small Jet Lathe (10" swing) around 2008 and turned a few pens, a couple of muggle wands and a couple small bowls.
Since then I have acquired too many tools and accessories to list, and have turned about 40 or 50 pens, most of which I gave away.
I had a job disruption and ended up traveling about 90% of the time for work and didn't do any turning to speak of for about 9 years.
I am now retired and really enjoy turning. I want to turn pens, tops, rolling pins and other random stuff and see if I can sell them.

Thanks to all of you for the awesome website.

Mike

Welcome aboard Mike. Hope you stick around and show us some of your work. Like many here we sell a few things but give away more. It is the fun seeing those who get a pen and we tell them it was hand made. Have fun in your retirement years. Well earned.
