Hello,
I'm relatively new to pen turning. Bought a lathe on a whim last year but didn't turn my first pen until May. It's quickly become an addiction and find myself spending more time turning pens than I do on any other project in my wood shop. I recently started turning some alumilite blanks and has piqued my interest in casting.
Pictured is my latest pen

Welcome from Texas, Clay. I bought my first lathe on a whim 9 years ago - I had never turned anything in my life before that. It's a great hobby!

Welcome from N Texas. BE sure to spend time in the library. You will find lots and lots of good information for winter reading.
Do a good turn daily!

Welcome from East Tennessee from a former Buckeye. If my memory serves me, my father and uncle used to show dairy cattle at the fair in Lancaster.

IAP members are a great group of people. Many of them have a lot of experience. Ask questions as they are always ready to help. Maybe we can meet up if I am ever in the Chillicothe area.
