Hi guys, my name is Aaron Mckeown and live in Donegal Ireland,
Recently started turning in general to help my own mental health and plan on using items i make in our giftware business.
Im using a charnwood 824 midi lathe and viper 2 chuck with Carbide tools until i can get a pro edge then im learning the craft of hss work.
ive also just dabbled in pen turning as again with our gift business and engraving service it could add a element for us.
hope to learn plenty and if anyone has any advice they need with laser work or design work etc dont hesitate to ask :)

These are my first 2 pens ever turned and I'm pretty happy.

Need to concentrate on getting the diameter down right as I'd say there a 1mm or so lip between the wood and the pen components etc
