Good afternoon all, just saying Hello as I'm new to the Forum and to turning.

Well, it's a bit of a return to turning as I did do some in school, but that was 15 years ago, and work and family have got in the way of any meaningful woodwork for far too long!

But I've now got a little lathe set up in my garage, and I've had a go at a couple of pens, and a few other bits, but I'm starting to understand what you mean by the 'bug'!

My first two pens, the blue one is a laminate blank from Axminster and the red is acrylic, also from axminster on their 7mm slimline pen kits.

Would love to know your thoughts, i think?!
