Yesterday the Mid-South Woodturners Guild was fortunate to have Malcolm do a demo at our club. Malcolm is a lot taller than I thought he would be (or I'm a lot shorter than I think I am). It was a wonderful presentation and I know I learned a lot and everybody had a great time. Malcolm is a real gentleman and puts on a great show. If you ever have the opportunity to see him, don't miss it. Even if you don't do segmented work it's worth the time. On behalf of the Mid-South Woodturners, THANKS Malcolm !

Keith - what a great photo! I would think that Malcolm would put on a great demo and knowing what I do of your fellow club members - I can only imagine what kind of reception they gave him! Must have been a riot!

Great photo! Did Malcolm donate the hollow form to the club - or was he presenting it to you? LOL That would have been nice!

Always glad to hear about other clubs and hope that some day our club will be able to host outside demonstrators. Thanks for sharing!

Malcolm was one of the demonstrators at the 2nd Desert Woodturning Roundoup (2007). He was well prepared, well organized, and gave a wonderful demonstration. He's definitely someone you should make the time to see -- even if you aren't into segmented turning. He's that good.

Boy am I jealous! That must have been one of the highlights of the year for you and your club! I would love to meet the man and see him in action! I have not gotten up the nerve to glue something up and give it a try! But when I do I will check out Malcom's books and videos for inspiration!

Great photo and beautiful vase!

We turners in Seattle had the good fortune to have Malcolm for a day last month. He is an excellent presenter. A number of the club members are busy turning out segmented pieces right now.

If you ever have the chance to see him, don't miss it. You might have a look at his videos. They are very well done and answer a lot of the questions.

I'm jealous too, Keith. Malcolm is one turner I'd really like to meet.
