Hi All,

I stumbled across this forum a few weeks ago, I have been lurking in the shadows soaking up all the useful information and have enjoyed reading some of the banter.

I thought I ought to step forward and say hello.

I've been woodturning on and off for about 10 years, I never really took to pen turning until recently... now I can't seem to stop!! It's flippin' addictive, I've turned 20+ pens in the past few weeks, I could post some photo's of my efforts if anyone is interested.

It's great to be here and I looking forward to getting involved.

All the best
Mark

Welcome Mark... There isn't any need to say much as you're already addicted and have obviously joined with the knowledge that within a few posts you will need medication, will have the need to learn a new language (grumpish) and will be required to tug your forelock whenever addressing the mighty Woody who we lovingly call.... ummm... Woody. :funny:

Show us the photos and other stuff you make, you know by now that we feed on photos :thumbs:
