There will be a mentoring session from 9:00 until noon Saturday April 12. If you will attend there will be turning, sharpening and safety training or if you have a specific skill you need to learn please advise Jim Oates at oatesjim @comcast.net
Last time we got into bowl turning and had a session on different ways to mount a bowl blank on the lathe and one mount not to use. We also did some additional sharpening on gouges.

The Next Meeting is Tuesday April 15th —at 7:00 pm
TOOL NIGHT. We need everyone to bring their favorite tools. Matters not if it a commercial or homemade tool. I know there are some amazing items that our turners have made that are cheaper and just as functional as any store bought ones.
TOOL NIGHT will also be TOOL NIGHT SALE. Bring any tool that you don’t use anymore and try to sell them at the meeting. Another member very well could use them. The club asks for a 20% donation of the sales to go to the club treasure. It should be a great deal for everyone.
