I have turned pens for about 5 years now. I started turning with my Dad who passed on about 4 tears ago. He was known as "The Pen Maker" in the turning community in Tulsa. We not only lost a good man but a tremendous craftsman with his passing.I can only hope someday I can walk in his shoes and produce the qaulity of pen he did.
After 5 years I still learn something new everyday. I hope I get the chance to meet some of you and get the opportunity to pick your brain a little and see some of your work. What work I have seen on this site so far we have some real talent on here and makes me a little humble to call myself a pen builder.
Once again hello and happy turning to each of you.

Welcome Gary, 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.
