Greetings from Spain

[Carretero]

Hello everybody, my name is Gonzalo Carretero and I've been turning wood for two years. Recently I watched some penturning videos and it calls my atention.

As I dont know the technique, I'm going to search and read some books about it. Also some videos.

Starting from scratch is very difficult but if somebody knows a book or video which shows the full procces will be helpfull.

Im gonna read the forum and see how can I start.

Best regards to all and have a nice day.

Hello Gonzalo,

I hope that you find my book helpful and that you enjoy your new venture into the fascinating world of pen making.

Thank you to Pierre for recommending my book and to Phil and Chas for their support.

Pierre is correct I am a member here but I do not visit often so if you have any questions about my book, or any other matters related to pen making it is best to contact me through my website.

Best wishes

Walter
