Summer session begins.  We will have as much hands on and mentoring as you can stand.  We will continue with tools sharpening, use of tools and continue the making of tools for those interested.

I will give a demo in July on the making of a salad bowl using 2 ways to hold the bowl for finishing the bottom. I will also bring in a deep hollowing system with laser guidance in July for those who might be interested in why and wherefore of that beast

So, bring your questions, tools and wood and lets see what you need and want to learn or how we can help you increase your turning skills.

If you didn't gain any weight at the last meeting, you weren't there.
We had nine (9) dozen donuts !!!
What the heck !!!

As you may have noticed in the meeting minutes from Doug, we had a guest from England.  He was TDY to Davis Monthan AF base.  He took a taxi out to the house.   We let him walk back.  Not really, one of our members gave him a ride back to the base.  Always fun to have someone show up like that.

      Sept meeting will have Mr. Wally Dickerman showing hollow vessel or bowl turning or surprising us with some of his antidotes on life in general.  Maybe we can get Wally to show how he makes tops, too.   Then in Oct.  Mr. Stan Ries  will demo the basics of segmented turning. 

      Well, hope all are having fun and getting lots of turning done. 

Stay cool and see you in June.

      Keep’em sharp, 
Jim

Plan on what pieces you want to bring to the next meeting for the “instant gallery.” It’s a perfect time to share your work with other club members. And if you find something of interest in the instant gallery, take the time to ask the maker about it—maybe about how it was constructed, techniques used, or finishing. It’s time to share our thoughts with others.

Anyone with donations—e.g., tools, machinery, or library books or videos—see any one of the committee members.
