Hello All,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been looking at this site for awhile and going to start making a few writing instruments for myself and some of my martial art students who do well in school.

I just got a Grizzly variable speed off of Craigslist and it came with 9 Havana pen kits, a nice sheffield gouge and a few other supplies for $150.00 I had to jup on that deal.

Now I just have to get some blanks and making sawdust or plastic shavings.

Welcome Gary. Can't wait to see some of your work. Save those Havana kits for something special; they aren't the easiest to get a hold anymore.
 
Welcome Gary, 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.
Have a look at the series of videos ed4copies has just posted showing how to complete a pen from drill to finish.
