New here from Forfar

[Colin]

Hello all, I,m Colin from Forfar ,Angus.
Have been turning pens for a few months now and loving it as a way to relax from work, Electrical engineer.
Started with a drill powered lathe and a couple of old chisels, have moved on a little and bought a couple more chisels and a proper lathe,
I just find it a great way way to relax for a few hours and get away from everything
Hope to post some pics of my pens soon
Colin

Nah - I think we'll leave it. Have you tried taking your meds with a dram Don? It doesn't help. but it's much better fun.
