Just getting started on the lathe. I bought a cheep lathe and with several attachments and began turning pens. (hooked) Wish I had did this years ago.
Thanks for the tips I have seen here.

Man look at all the new suckers, I mean victims, I mean newbies coming in. Poor souls, if only they knew what they were getting themselves into. Just a warning to those new-b's. I thought I would be able to resist the vortex, (I'm strong willed and determined not to let anything have hold over me except God), but whew the pull of the vortex is strong.

Welcome and good luck. Post many pics of successes and failures. We'll help you learn and progress!!!
