And when yo've read all the info below, I'm sure someone can help you find a lathe. 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.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Although I have never turned a pen I have been turning for a little over a year.
