Next Meeting - January 24

The November meeting will begin at 9:30 AM at Gerald Chandler's shop in Crawley. Harry Newman will demonstrate how to prepare blanks for inside-out turnings and how the blank is initially turned, split apart and reassembled, and finally turned again. Members will be challenged to create an inside-out turning and display it at the March 28 meeting. Members should bring in the wine goblet they were challenged to make at the November meeting.

Christmas Dinner Party Highlights

Thirty two members and guests enjoyed the Club's annual Christmas dinner at Pasquale's in Beckley on December 20. It was a great way to end the year with good fellowship and good food. Even the weather cooperated so there were no problems as we travelled. A number of members displayed turnings they had created during the year.

2014 Instant Gallery

Turner's Shop

A new section is being added to the website this month - a Club member is asked about his or her turning interests, background, lathe and preferred tools. Cliff Baker is interviewed this month and another member will be featured next month. As Cliff can confirm, a shop doesn't have to be "magazine clean" to be featured - all that is needed is a little cleaning and a lot of cropping!

Lathes and Lasagna

Lathes and Lasagna sessions are temporarily suspended since Bill is in the process of moving his shop.
