Hello all, I,m Colin from Forfar ,Angus.
Have been turning pens for a few months now and loving it as a way to relax from work, Electrical engineer.
Started with a drill powered lathe and a couple of old chisels, have moved on a little and bought a couple more chisels and a proper lathe,
I just find it a great way way to relax for a few hours and get away from everything
Hope to post some pics of my pens soon
Colin

Colin I like the way you started it gives a full sense of how to develop the hobby inexpensively. The steps that follow are natural and progressive. Have fun mate, enjoy the forum.

Peter.

Welcome Colin.
Bit late with the welcome but had to wait on the medicines kicking in.
You're on a slippery slope now, welcome to the ride :thumbs:
