Hi everyone. New to turning in general. Just started doing pens and have to say I'm addicted! Already found some good tips here I'm pleased to say.

Having just started to turn pens I have been busy reading this forum on how to produce a good pen. Thanks. I've spent a long time visiting suggested sites for components. I want to make pens for friends which are topical to their hobbies or life. My son is a production manager working in the...

Getting a bit more confident with the lathe and tooling...but still feel like I've got a long way to go before making something I'm really proud to show off. This egg and cup was a practice project this morning...it nearly got scrapped at one point but it was a good save in the end. Not good by...

Was all over this website today interesting reading. Also U Tube videos. doctor.r2pwebsites.com/about us Good reading. Peter.

I haven't posted a pen for a while, most of the pens I turn seem 'run of the mill' so I don't normally bother. But this one seemed to jump out at me, it looked good, felt good, everything seemed right about it. It's one of Dan's chrome Sedonas (quality kit by the way) dressed in Rippled Sweet...
