Hello

[Whaler]

My name is Dick and live in Sequim Washington. I have been an on and off again woodworker since the early 50s, that changed about 10 years ago when I started turning and became addicted. I primarily do pens and bottle stoppers out of both wood and acrylic.
Here is a link to my on line photo album if you would like to take a look.

I have used this site for the tool reviews for quite some time and am pleased to see a forum started, Thanks Tom.

Welcome!

I took a quick look at your photos and it reminds me that I have some pen kits in the drawer that were supposed to be pens for my wife and daughter last year sometime....

Welcome Dick. Pen turning can be very addicting! I also love to let family members take a "turn" at it (pun intended ) They instantly think it is really cool and love bragging about their pens to anyone who will listen.

Welcome Dick, I need all the help I can get with turning! Tom said I would become addicted eventually!
