Hi, Introducing myself as another wannabee wood / pen turner.

Having recently retired from a lifetime in electrical / business management. I wanted to try my hand at something creative. I'm just putting my workshop back together following a building project on the house and am now looking to get started. I've made a few small items, but am quickly finding that it is not as easy as it looks on YouTube :(

As you can see my workshop is full already, but I have managed to make room for my laptop and got it connected to the TV so that I can do the online turning course from Axminster Tools.... https://1drv.ms/i/s!AtgZDeFHu5HnhYBMOGacw_NbksNknQ?e=oUUtGu

How have others learned the craft? Where do you put all of the stuff ??????
