Welcome to the forum, I hope you take part, most of your countrymen post a few times and then disappear. Show us some photos of your pens.

Hi Tony, welcome to the worlds foremost forum. You have are on the first rung of the ladder to being part of a forum that shares it tips and tricks, jokes and problems... we are a family and you are most welcome to join. The second rung of the ladder is to tell us what you've done so far and then you're off and climbing. A photo and you're on the third and its all up up up from there. Why not also tell us a bit about where you live?

Thank you for the warm welcome. I discovered the forum around midnight; please forgive the short welcome.


I have been turning pens since March 2014
I couldn't spell "lathe" prior to that.
Married to a "saint" for 27 years (this Saturday)
We have one son
We own a golden retriever, and just lost one suddenly and sadly
My wife and I are involved in charity work for the indigent and folks with special needs
I play and own several guitars
I live about 40 north of Atlanta, in the suburbs called Alpharetta
My wife and only became involved in Downton Abbey a few months ago, but quickly caught-up (we are not big TV watchers)
I am originally from NYC
Grew-up watching PBS and lots of British TV
I am a CPA (your Chartered Accountant), and Human Resources professional (on the business process outsourcing side).
Would love to visit England .....got as close as EPCOT :sob:

Is that a better welcome :idontknow:
