Hello
Just joined as I have recently bought a Lathe for our 15 year old son.
Its a small metal lathe but we fancy making some pens so look out for our stupid beginners questions

Hi Dave - welcome aboard. If you don't know the answer its probably not a stupid question, so feel free to ask away. Some of us are a bit odd, but you'll learn to work with that ( I use the word "us" quite loosely) :bwink: but there is a wealth of experience here and everyone is willing to help, so don't be shy. Oh, and it's quite good fun as well!

And welcome to your son too.

Phil

Welcome Dave. There are no stupid questions, everyone has to start somewhere. No matter what the question there is always someone else who has been sitting there afraid to ask, that is the beauty of the forum and it is how we all learn. Allen
