Now then,
Just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.
Coming back to woodwork after a ten year hiatus. Used to have a ShopSmith when I lived in the US (NJ), and the workshop room to go with it.
Been back in Donny for ten years, and the bug of pen turning is still gnawing away at me. Never made one - always promised myself I would. Was more into bowls & boxes back then.
Anyway, have myself booked on a pen turning course at Turners retreat for this Friday, and wondered if anyone had done that course or if anyone had any tips/advice for what to do or not do & any pertinent things I should ask about?
Looking forward to my stay here.
cheers,
Andy C
PS - The pen in the top left corner - Yorkshire rose & Leeds colours?? (MOT!)
