Welcome Brett! Enjoy the fun here and in turning some pens. Great bunch of fellows and ladies here.
Below is a link to a PDF file that goes over many aspects of pen turning from finish - to pens - to tools - to methods etc. It is not a detail of each part, but a good overview for pen turning. Hope it helps.
Also included below is a link to a new post that gives some information that people wished they had known earlier in pen turning. Some good information by those that make pens.
Welcome Brett. I'm about a 1.5 hours from you near Rochester. I was down near you last week when LOML and I took the long way back from Pittsburgh making a stop in Olean.
