My first pens and first post

[Andrew Goossen]

This is my first hand as a post. I have always enjoyed wood and had a central machine metal lathe I converted with a carbide bit to turn my first pen. I since obtained a Jet Mini 1014 and Nova G3 chuck. On Friday I had one person Buy/Order 3 pen/Pencil sets and 1 Pen. Guess I better get busy. I have known Bernie for 20+ years. I grew up in NW Kansas and now reside in NE Oklahoma. I stumbled onto this site about 2 months ago and I guess I will get sucked in. This is a good site for information.
