I've gone for the 11-25 option, but barely, I think I have been trying to run before I can walk tbh and had a go at segmentation, experiments in finishing etc before getting to grips with shape and flow.

The trouble is every time I see the great pictures that you all post with different ideas and techniques , I just want to try them out!!!:rolling:

I'll get there eventually :thumbs:

I have been making pens for about 2 years now, but never kept tab of how many. I was like a rampant rabbit in the first few months, so there will be hundreds of them out there somewhere ... :goesred:

Hi Folks, found this forum last week, I've been turning and selling pens for over a couple of years totals would be four figures but I've lost count.

Many many hundreds of hundreds since the eighties, having a hiatus with family health but underway again shortly.

Kind regards Peter.
