    Finally - My 1st Pen

    I finally got to take the pen making class at Woodcraft. ( my first class was cancelled because I was the only person signed up ) I went today and below is the results. I am going back tomorrow to buy some pen making supplies. I'm hooked.

    Very nice Ken. And so it goes... your hooked eh? Be prepared to parts with some more dough! I love turning pens and other items. They make one of kind gifts and selling them is not bad either. If you are looking for tips on getting pen supplies much cheaper than Woodcraft, check out www.penturners.org . There are some great suppliers that hang out there and you can get slimlines for under $2.00 and Euro's for under $3.00.

            Excellent work, Ken. Like Scott said, visit penturners.org. Grab a few kits at WC, then order from one of the vendors at penturners. You'll save $$$. I believe WC sells Berea kits which are much cheaper at Arizona Silhouette. Check the Business Classifieds, Craft Supplies have periodic specials for penturners members. All the folks there are anxious to share their knowledge and experience.
            Again, good work.

              Thanks all. I did go to penturners and registered. Thanks for the tip Scott. I will check out Arizona Silhouette Ken. It is always nice to save a few bucks on items. That way I can buy more. Thanks
