Thread: Pen turning requirements - what are they ?

Hey Ed

Step 1

Get you shed waterproof by managing to seal it to the concrete slab. After a month I am still attempting this simple task - now with bitumen chaulk to see if that will work

My initial post that started this thread resulted in very friendly and informative advice, plus invites to meet up with other forumites. So I though rather than start a new thread I'd just tack on a new post.

Today I managed to spend the afternoon immersed in the wood world of dai sensei.

It was great to put a face to a name, enjoy a coffee and swap my limited experience for more expansive one. I got some great technique tips, advice on how to fix my first effort (and why things went wrong) and got to see an expert turn out a pen.

Thanks for the afternoon Neil.

There is no substitute for hands on guidance in the early stages of our addiction, videos and such can give some insights ,but hard to ask why things are done in such and such a way like you can with a real pro like Neil. I am sure your eyes have been opened to the real possabilities of where this can all lead given time and enthusiasm It is really an endless quest to master and go on to bigger and better results ,so many different branches with different materials, each have their points of interest ,so the only limit is ourselves , enjoy the journey ,even when all seems against you there are answers if you seek ! cheers ~ John
