One more from Texas

[Camardelle]

Hello all. New to turning pens, and turning in general so I hope to read and learn a lot here. Starting with pens and very interested in casting my own blanks. Currently a retired educator who hobby welds and powder coats cups for fun and a little profit. Thanks for admission to the group.

Welcome from Corsicana, Texas!

I just retired from education myself this past May. There is a lot to read on here. Many great tutorials. Better than all the tutorials though, is all the friendly folks on here...

If you have a question about something, feel free to ask. Someone will provide you an answer or a solution to your problem.

Welcome from another Houston area member, Howard. We are happy that you found us. We just held a Houston area get-together at the SW Houston Woodcraft store a few weeks ago. We don't have another one scheduled just yet, but you might want to subscribe to the Greater Houston Chapter forum

Be sure to post some photos in the Show Off Your Pens forum. That will get you entered into our monthly drawing for new members.

 

[Camardelle]

Will do Edgar. I'm on the mailing list for the group that meets on the north side now. There's a meeting this Saturday I'm considering. Thanks for the welcome!

This site is brimming with education - and turnings are naturally graded on a friendly curve.
