New DateNext Meeting April 8th

Monthly program meeting is Tuesday April 8th at 6:30 pm at Tom Stauder’s house.
A representative from Sorby Tools of England will present a turning program. The date and time are quite different from our regular meeting time. However, the Sorby rep will be in town working with Taylor Toolworks and agreed to present a program. Bring a chair to sit in and your safety glasses. The program will conclude by 8:30 pm so those traveling some distance can get home at a reasonable time.

Tom’s address is:
4779 E Turkey Trail Dr
Columbia, MO 65201-3107

Hands-On Turning Thursday April 17th

And check out the American Association of Woodturners.

What We Do

Regular club meetings, featuring a demonstration, show-n-tell, attendance raffles and shop talk are held on the third Sunday of each month. Additionally, hands-on turning sessions are scheduled whenever possible.

Live Demonstrations

At our monthly meetings, we see live sessions on particular techniques and projects, delivered by an experienced turner. Several times a year we invite a nationally known turner to provide the demos.

Show-N-Tell

Members are encouraged to bring their latest projects to the monthly meetings and describe what they’ve been working on. Sometimes this is to get help from the group on a problem; many times it provides inspiration and oohs and aahs.

Hands-On Turning

Scheduled throughout the year include hands-on turning sessions at a friend-of-the-club location, equipped with several midi-lathes, to introduce newer turners to the activity and provide practical guidance from seasoned turners.

Shop Talk

Our in-person meetings always include helpful discussion from all experience levels. This could include topics like wood sources and identification, turning techniques, tools and sharpening and our favorite jigs.
