Hello
My name is Dan I'm from Hampton, VA and new to this sight. I had the chance to turn a pen at a woodworking show a few years ago and I think I would like to do some more. I'm hoping to get some good information about lathes, chisels and other equipment. I have done some turning in the past but got away from it, I did lot like the time it took to keep the chisels sharp but I see that the how have chisels that have replaceable cutters, those should make turning more enjoyable for me. I have to look around so see were to post my questions and I have a good number.

Dan, welcome to IAP from Georgia. You will find a great amount of information here. The library is a great source of information and many of our members sell related products at very reasonable prices. Carbide tipped turning tools are really great. The cutters last a long time and the fact that they don't need to be sharpened is a very nice feature.

Welcome from Ohio. From your name, I assume you make bandsaw boxes. I've made over 100 and love them. Lots of work though. Enjoy pens. They're addictive.

Lots of warm welcomes and it seams there a good number of retired and former military folks around. walship17 from PRAN to zero not bad. Were you a ground pounder or flyer? When I was running PR Shops the I called the Aircrew "My Kids" (unknown to them). I had a lot of really good ones and a few who Thought They Had Weight that didn't work in my shop if the manual backed me up and even times there was no manual.
