Hi Everyone,

My name is Phil and I am new to the site:). I am a novice at turning anything and have been doing this for about 8 months now. Todate I have made about 50 pens. To be honest, "Trial and Error" has been my instructor. I love to raise the bar on each project in the hopes of learning a little something new. I am very impressed with the workmanship of the pens and blanks I have seen. I hope to be that good someday. I need to thank Joe for the sending me the link to this site.

Glad to have you here Phil. You and I are about the same amount of time and pens. You can learn a lot from everyone here and be sure to check out the library files.

Welcome Phil, 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.
