Hi all, just saying hello. I have only been turning for a couple of weeks and haven't had a go at pens yet but they are on my to do list.

How many posts do I have to have before I can upload an avatar ?
Regards
Graham

Graham forgot to say that when you get around to turning your first pen everyone on here is very knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have

Welcome Graham.

When you've got 100 posts, you get your first treatment free. Its very calming but doesn't last long :-)

500 posts and you get the English/Grump Dictionary.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
UKW does more than turning, I take it you are on there as well ?

I was being slightly more than facetious Graham!
You are most welcome!

I am a member of UKW, and the AWGB, though rarely post, commitments elsewhere.
I can guarantee you will have a good time here, but beware the nutters in green!:funny::funny:
