Hello everyone. I am a new pen turner. I have been waiting to introduce myself until I had time to upload a picture of one of my pens. But I can see that is not going to happen for a few days. So I thought I had better introduce myself and add a photo later.

I have turned about a dozen pens now - a few of which look pretty good. I took a pen turning class at the local woodworking shop where I learned quite a bit about turning but failed miserably at the ACC finish the instructor tried patiently to teach me.

The train is arriving at the station, so I will end.

Welcome Richard, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. 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/librar...en_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.
