Hey everyone, I have a question that I feel fairly stupid asking, but...Here goes...
I am interested in getting into turning pens. I know very little about it and I'm not exactly sure what I need to get started. I currently have a lathe, some turning tools, and an ebony pen blank (don't ask). I'm not sure what else I need, and I have very limited extra cash at the moment to pick the rest up.
What I'm looking for is the most economical (read low cost) way to get the ball rolling. I am looking to make some pens for me, gifts, and maybe even sell a couple to help support my habit.
Thanks for any advice anyone can shoot toward me,
-Kevin
