Hello

[Lana Raffensperger]

Hi

My name is Lana I have been turning for 2 years now. I mainly make pens.
I am trying to make bowls also.
I just wanted to say I am new here and say hello.
Nice to meet you all.
Lana
:D

Hi Lana and welcome to the creek. Please feel free to ask questions and we do like to see your turnings so post pictures if you can. I don't do pens but I do like looking at any style of turning.

Lana, Lana, Lana...........Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Where do you hail from?

Please show us your pics.

You can just dangle your feet here or you can swim or you can go sailboarding or sailfishing (you have to bring your own tackle though, sorry) here in the Creek. It's big and varied and it's for everybody.

Welcome to the Creek Lana. Bunch of knowledgeable folks (except me and that Mark guy above :p ) willing to share their experience. This is a great place to learn. I'm just getting started with turning, and so far I've mostly turned pens, but I'm working my way into bowls and hopefully the openings will get smaller and smaller until I'm doing hollow forms. ;)

As has already been mentioned, we like pictures, so feel free to show us your work, or show us your mistakes and ask for advice.

Hi. My name is Lana I have been turning for 2 years now.... Sounds like you've mastered the first of our Twelve Step Program:eek:

Welcome.

[Cecil Arnold]

Welcome to the creek Lana. Just a word of advice, stay away from that Andy fellow or he will try to get you to sample that Moxie stuff he drinks. As you know we really like pictures and there is a picture policeman named Tyler, who is a novice turner, who may check in to enforce the picture policy if you don't post any.

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Welcome Lana, this is a good place.

I'd love to see some pics of your pens, and of your workshop!

Cheers!

[Ted Calver]
