Just wanted to introduce myself. Live in Northern Ohio, and am fairly new to turning (3 years)- pens/other. So I have more enthusiasm than skill, but I clearly share the addiction.

Looking forward to visiting, learning and contributing.

Active in IAP, but it's a big world.

My wife occasionally travels to Hazelwood for work, so maybe I can be a "carry-on" sometime :thumbs:

Best Regards, Mark

Hello Mark and welcome, look forward to seeing some more of your work in the future.

Many on here are very helpful and the rest are just plain mad. They are a great bunch but don't tell them I said so and also very knowledgable.

Welcome to the best pen forum in the world Mark :thumbs: you've made a good choice coming here and already showing us some good stuff. When you say travelling to Hazelwood... is that in the UK? if so it wouldn't be in Devon by any chance would it?

Welcome to the forum Mark.

Nice to see some of your work, sure with your enthusiasm you have learnt something we haven't.

Look forward to learning from you as well.:thumbs:
