So I decided that I should pick up a hobby and was looking at woodworking but I don’t have the room for that right now but I am looking at starting pen turning because it dose not need that mush stuff and its small but sadly I have only turned one pen 5 years ago in junior high woodworking class and have forgotten everything. Anyone know of any good instructional videos or books that are really good or any good brands for lathes? I don’t really know where to turn because my background is mainly in mechanics and the only wood working experience I have is what I picked up in junior high.
Sorry wish I could help. I’ve watched it done, never attempted it though. Did u try YouTube, whenever I need to fix something that’s where I look.
If you’ve got a Woodcraft store nearby, go over. They normally have turning clubs and a variety of other clubs on Saturdays.
