Now that winter cold is here, I hope deer hunters had a fun hunt and were able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Thanksgiving came and went and now on to Christmas. I have been busy with Christmas gifts in the workshop and hope you are able to spend some time in your shop also.
We had our final round of shop visits to Paul’s and Barry’s . It was a big hit for those that could make it.
The advanced class for November was held Saturday November 16 starting at 8:00 am. The subject was vacuum chucking. We had some hands on time and everyone had a chance to see and do a few things involving vacuum chucking.
We had a good turnout for the December Open House. Several members brought in their tools from home and were able to get them sharpened. My wife put together a tray of Christmas cookies so we were able to partake in some sweet treats. Thank you Pam!
At our last meeting of 2024, Tom Leonard demonstrated how to turn a pen from a piece of deer antler. Great job Tom!
The presidents challenge for December was something to do with Christmas. We had three winners with some beautiful turnings.
We have had a few members sign up for the next beginning class starting in January. Times and dates to be announced at the next meeting.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you at the next meeting January 8th at 6:00PM.
Have fun turning!
Bob
