Hi. My name’s Mike and I’ve just joined the forum. I’ve been turning for about 10 years but I’ve never turned a pen so I thought I’d try something new. I’ve bought the Charnwood pen turning kit (not arrived yet) which will hopefully get me started and I’ve watched a few YouTube videos. Apart from that I know nothing! I realise it’s a learning experience so I’d appreciate any pointers, especially where to buy good quality materials. Thanks.
