Hey Y'all

Been turning pen for the last couple years, I took wood working all thru high school back in the dark ages turned the usual stuff bowls candle sticks. Now that I am retired hope to increase my hobby and start turning more often. We recently moved from Vancouver Island, or as I like to call it Hawaii North, We are not in Hawaii of the Arctic 😄 Northern Alberta just south of the NWT border. Just turned a couple pens in my makeshift wood shop with a diesel heater blasting to keep everything from freezing up, hoping to get the actual wood shop done this summer. I will see if I can figure out how to post a couple pictures of the pens I just made.

Hope to learn a few tricks on here as well. Thanks for letting me join

Let's turn and hey lets be careful out there
