• July ’09 – Clif Poodry and Ed Karch – dueling lathes

 

Have you seen the DVD "Two Ways to Make a Bowl-- with Stuart Batty and Mike Mahoney having a friendly bowl-making competition?  It’s a classic.  Well this is our MCW version of the challenge.  At Clif’s suggestion, our two in-house instructors/demonstrators - extraordinaire have agreed to put on a show of dueling lathes.  In our version, they are going to begin with similar pieces of wood and simultaneously make two pieces.  They’ll take turns turning and talking so they’ll each be able to finish their items.  Lots of good, practical tips, methods, and information will be imparted along the way, and interplay will be encouraged.

Visitors and guests are always welcome at our monthly meetings.  Please join us if you're in the area and learn about the art and  craft of woodturning.  All skill levels from novice to  expert will find a common ground.  We look forward to seeing you!

The Rockville Woodworkers Club offers MCW members a 10% discount on woodturning related items, excluding power tools, to attendees on the day of our meetings just prior to or following our meetings.

 

Hartville Tool offers MCW Club members a 15% discount on non-sale items, and our chapter receives a 3% rebate.
