Hands-On Turning Thursday January 15th 6:00pm
Thursday January 15th at 6:00pm Ernest’s house. Bring your small lathes (if possible), tools, blanks, and safety glasses for a fun evening. Our goal is to help new turners get started by actually working on a lathe. Please park on the curb side of the street. Let Ernest know if you are attending so blanks can be prepared.

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.
