never turned a pen before, what do I need

[Bill Wyko]

I've never turned a pen before so what are the do's and don'ts. I have a Jet mini so what goodies do I need to try this?

Start here and take notes ;)

Edit:

See link above, it covers what I was gonna say just better organized and more in depth. :)

[Neal Addy]

Yep. That's the best place to be.

Bill,

I also sent you an email. :)

Bill, PSI offers a free dvd on turning a pen. Just follow the film and it is easy to do a simple slimline. Then after you get the hang of it you will try other styles.

Thanks John. I'm going to try pens in the next week or two. I'll try to get that before I start.
Thanks again.
