Hi Folks,

New to this forum but some of you might know me from IAP. Have been turning pens for a couple of years now and started making my own blanks last year.
Not been doing any turning over the winter months as it is just too cold to stand in the garage and SWMBO doesn't like the smell of the resin in the house. Hoping to start casting again in a few weeks when it gets warmer (there's optimism).

Eric...

Hi Eric
Welcome and a big hello from Northumberland.
Loads of help and advice from the guys (and galls) on here - enjoy.

If you want to put a stop to the missus moaning about the whiff just get her to do a load of CA polishing and she'll soon lose all sense of smell.:wink:
