    Hello to all.
    I just wanted to introduce myself: my name is Rikk and I live about 20 miles south of Chicago. I am brand new to turning pens (or turning of any kind). I've had the opportunity to turn two pens at a local Rockler's. As it so often happens, I was hooked! I've purchased a lathe and the needed tools and am ready to get going. There are some good books that I have looked at, but I was wondering, are there are any instructional dvds?

    Although most of my time right now is spent at the scroll saw finishing up Christmas gifts, I am looking forward to getting started with pen turning.

    Rikk

    Welcome Rikk, I am sure that you will get plenty of advice shortly(when we wake up) I couldn't sleep this am, so am up early. You will love turning pens, Fairly sure there are instructional dvd around but the other turners will have to fill you in. Good luck with it all, Amos

    There are also heaps of things on the Forum - just sit down and start reading.

    I never got into pens, but my father in law is obsessed....
