Hi Lads,
By way of an explanation, I’ve been missing for a while following some serious health issues/surgery, and have kept my head down accordingly while keeping an eye on the forum.
Finishing rehab soon and hope to become more active in the future but have done the odd bit to keep my interest in pen making going.
Had hoped to get to the Harrogate show, but will have to give it a miss this time.
Best regards to you all.

Hi Gary,

I've just got back from Harrogate, but not a lot of evidence of pen turning specifically.
A lot of impressive machines though!!

Welcome back Gary

Harrogate was fairly good today . Lots of acrylic blanks available but not a lot of pen kits etc on view but they were some there if you searched. i exercised pole lathe turning to get rid of the large chinese consumed with friends last night as we discussed who we wanted to visit at the show.

Andrew Hall was in fine voice ,Emma Cook delighted and Les Thorn demoed vessel turning , amongst other black arts . Other aficionado’s included Phil Greenwood and Mick Hanbury amazing all watching

Always worth calling it at the wood arts stand for useful bits of kit
