    Default Newbie from northern rivers looking for advice

    Hi guys, i have recently bought a second hand lathe and would like to start turning pens, only problem is i haven't touched a lathe since school. I have bought a few books and some new chisels and realise i will need more, is there some where around our area i can go to get a bit of experience or advice on gear and how to get started, lessons etc .thanks

    Hi George, I'm in casino, nsw. I searched and found a few clubs up the coast just not much around here. So I have been looking on you tube and reading. Cheers

    There's a strong & active group in Mullumbimby - The Men's Shed, meets every Friday and has a fully equipped (and enviable) workshop. Unfortunately women aren't allowed... I know the guy who owns the property, let me know if you'd like his contact number.

    Cheers.
