    This evening is a Hands-On night, with various turners facilitating demos and inviting others to give it a try.   In particular, demonstrators will be showcasing the use of Carbide Tools.  This will be interesting prior to next weeks panel discussion around carbide tools.

    Carbide tools have become increasingly popular with woodturners in recent years.  Is it all hype and great marketing?  Are these tools only for beginners, or are they a valuable addition to every woodturners toolkit?  Come out and listen to a panel of both new and experienced guild members and find out the facts.”  A variety of carbide tools will be available to inspect and see in action (time permitting).

    Please share something you are proud of making this past month and bring something for the President's Challenge:  Jewelry
