Hi Winemaker, welcome to the best pen turning forum ever. Where else would you get the owner of the site giving away dosh just because you made a post? Everyone on here is nuts and all need to be in bed by 9 so ask any questions early :funny:

Anything you need to know about anything will be answered on here, there is always somebody who knows so ask away but first we need some photos of what you've done so far. :thumbs:

Have a good time here and ask any questions... the nurse will be along shortly.

Hi and welcome look forward to some of your photo's what you have made.

Do not ask any questions before 9 in the morning as most have not had their medication until then and no questions after 9 as they are in bed by then:banana::banana::banana:
