Hello.
Just joined the forum after lurking for a short time. Ive not done any sort of turning since highschool back in the 70s.
Always liked wood turning so went out and got a 1416vs from axminster and some crown cryogenic woodworking tools. :thumbs:
Just sent for a rotur universal pen turning kit and some penkits from ebay.

Girlfriend has bought me a pen press and a blank holder from axminster and a few kits from Fun e Turns and Penkits uk. Both of these are ebay sellers.
Not tried to make a pen kit up yet as im waiting for my drill press to arrive.

Now you guys got to put up with my stupid questions:whistling:

Anyone know any really good pen kits.

Steve.

Welcome, hey don't waste time waiting for your drill press, use the lathe for drilling and assembly in the meantime.
