I am sure John K Jordan will respond with more info, but yes and the club meets at Woodcraft. I did a two day demo/workshop there earlier this year. Great bunch of folks.

Yes a fantastic club the John K Jordan is in. They do meet at the Woodcraft Store but I can't remember which night. I'm sure the store will tell you. Smokey Mountain Woodturners, I found this, hopefully it will give good information. http://smwts.org/

Roger,

Yes, the Smoky Mountain Woodturners meet in the classroom of the Woodcraft store the third tuesday of each month, the 21st this month. Meetings start at 6:30 but most people get there at 6 or so to chat and socialize.

The website: http://www.smwts.org/

A bit about the club, including mailing and email address: http://www.smwts.org/content/about-smwts
If you have any questions, sent a PM and we can talk by phone.

(Warning to the sensitive, my picture is there from last month's demo! :))

The scheduled demo this month is Turning a Pedistal Dish by good friend Jake Niedling.
Some people bring wood for a wood draw. This month I'll be bringing a few fairly large pieces of green bradford pear, already cut into spindle and bowl blanks and waxed. We have a big wood auction in March every year but I want to auction these off right away while they are still green and fresh. I think one is about 16" in diameter.

We'd be glad for you to visit!
