Ive never turned a thing in my life!

Got my first lathe and looking forward to having a go, would really like to get into pens.

Great to have a look around the forum and see the great work that people are producing.

Welcome where in zomerzet are you, there's a couple of residents/inmates who may too near you for comfort.

Or they may be able to help you get started.

Allo Neil. That's exactly how I got into turning. Just decided to buy a lathe one day as I'd never done it before and after a couple of weeks, I was hooked. You won't be disappointed, its fantastic!! A very warm welcome!! :thumbs:
