First time poster...

Been lurking here for a few days and just registerd a couple of days ago. Just getting my garage shop going and really like all the ideas from this forum. Also, I have been reading about the Feedom Pens and might start that as soon as I get my shop going. I have a small 7x14 metal lathe. This should be able to be used for pen turning shouldn't it? Live in NE Oklahoma, 44 years old and really like this site. :D

Welcome Randy!

Welcome to SMC, Randy! :) Yup, this is a GREAT place to learn but, also to share! A real community type feel to the place and, when I'm real busy and don't have the time to visit, I really miss it! Depending on the amount of lurking you've done, you may or may not know that pictures are pretty much *mandatory*! If you hadn't picked up on that before, you've now been informed! :D Stop often, stay long and do NOT let Tyler talk you into believing that the only good piece of shop equipment is "baby puke mustard yellow"! :cool:

Welcome, I haven't been hanging around long. Pictures huh? If I had the camera, I wouldn't know how to do it. I'm and older person whose children break out laughing when I talk about being computer literate.
