Hey everyone, some of you might know me from Rockler, I worked there at the end and I also did some of the pen turning demos.
I started out in woodworking doing fixer up duties in my house 10 years ago. But I started turning in Oct. 2005. I bought a lathe to make baseball bats, which I,ve made a grand total of 3, and started to make pens the day I bought the lathe, which I've made around 300.
The reason I wanted to make bats is I'm trying to get a 19th century base ball team together and I thought I could save some money making bats.
