Hi All and I hope we all have a terrific New Year!
I got my 9 yr. old granddaughter a mini lathe for Christmas. It's a used one and it came with a ton of pen blanks and kits. I've never turned a pen (sorry!) and they live in FL, I'm in PA so I can't be of any help.
If there is anyone who turns pens and lives near Englewood, which is by Venice, and would like to help Haleigh get started, that would be so nice.
I will be in FL for the Symposium in 2 weeks but won't be going to their house. I did register them for the show and both Michael (my son) and Haleigh are excited since they've never seen anyone but me use a lathe.
This picture was taken Christmas day, she couldn't wait to get started! I don't think I have to tell you how proud I am, right?!? :D
