Looks like a great site. My daughter gave me a Jet mini lathe a couple of Christmases ago, but I haven't done much with it at all. Don't have much in the way of tools except for a large gouge and a large skew. Thought I should put it the lathe use though, and I've always wanted to make pens anyway - looks like fun. Glad I found this site - thanks ahead of time to all of the seasoned pros that have posted instructional material to help out neophytes like myself.

Welcome from Northern VA!
There is plenty of great info and folks to help if you have a question.

PS: Your daughter must want something! :biggrin:
 
Steve, welcome from Georgia. You have certainly come to the right place for information on pen turning. Check for a local IAP chapter in your area and attend a meeting, great folks, great wealth of information.

Welcome for Texas, Steve! It seems like most of us got here not knowing much about pens or turning, but with all the information on the site, you can learn really fast! The search function is your key to a a universe of pen information.

Welcome aboard Steve...I started with a 1 1/4 gouge...bought a bunch of other tools..skews, parting tools, carbide tools, and out of the 500+ pens I've turned 450+ have been with the old gouge. I think it's a comfort thing and a personal choice as you can see from all these craftsmen and craftswomen on this site that use assorted tools to make their beautiful creations.
