I hope this finds everyone able to enjoy the spring weather.
We had a smaller turnout for our June meeting. It must be
a very busy time of year.
Dan Brandner did the demo on turning Tops. He did a great job of explaining the process of turning tops. He showed several methods of mounting the blanks and how to shape the top. He also explained how to put chatter marks on the top without a chatter tool and showed how to color the top with markers.
The open house only had a couple of people using the lathes. They had a good time working on their projects.
There will be a work day tuning up the lathes Saturday morning June 15th from 8:00 am until we finish.
The July meeting will be moved to July 10th due to the 4th of July
holiday.
The open house in July will be a picnic on July 13th at Bob Eberhardt’s cabin near Colfax. More details to follow.
Remember Paint the Town event in Menomonie on July 20. We will be looking for some volunteers to man the booth.
We will be having our Learn to Turn event at the annual Chainsaw Carving in Carson Park the first weekend in August so keep that in mind!
Have fun turning!
Bob
