*Date Change* Hands-On Turning
We will have a hands-on turning session at Ernest’s house on Thursday February 20th at 6pm. Bring your tools, small lathes, blanks, safety glasses as well as folks interested in turning. Please park on the curb side of the street. Let Ernest know if you are attending so plenty of blanks can be prepared! Knock on the garage door closest to the house for entry. If bringing a lathe, back into the driveway for help in unloading it.

Timber Ridge Millworks club field trip
Israel Blosser has invited woodturners and woodworkers to his Timber Ridge Millworks at 19037 Highway 5, Versailles, MO on Saturday March 15th. He has a very versatile milling base frame that can support a large chainsaw head, a large saw blade head, or a large band mill head. He has solar kilns for lumber drying and can therm lumber (high heat with a lack of oxygen to chemically alter the wood’s structure). Also, there is a shop for building things and a showroom with many natural edge slabs. The current thinking is to arrive around 10 am, break for lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, and then finish up by 3 pm.
