Each year Kevin McPeek and I hold a turner gathering at our shops in SE Gilbert AZ. We just decided on Oct 20th as the date for this years.

Usually it starts about 9 am and goes until people leave. Not sure exactly what is in the plan for this year but if you are interested in coming PM me your e-mail address.

For those of you that don't know Kevin and I live about 30 yards away from each other and between our two shops we have 2 full sized lathes and two mini's.

Well you know I'm there, I think between the two of us and our four lathes we should have enough to go around.

Man I would be there in a minute but the Civano Artisan's show in Tucson is the same weekend and I'm the featured artist on the flyer's. I think they'd bury me in one of my turnings if I didn't show up. If the date changes please let me know. The following weekend I'm in Vegas for the SEMA show so I guess I'm out of luck.:(

Mike, does this mean that if I show up, I get the African sumac piece you made here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=65613? After all, you DID say that the first one who showed up on your doorstep got it??;) ;) :D

I'll be right over.:p

If you show up first it is yours. Who knows though maybe your competition has a secret plan.

Now that we're down in the 90s it should be great. Looking forward to this.

I checked with SWMBO, I'm in.

Mike and Kevin have asked me to do a demonstration at the gathering, I will be demonstrating the sequence and techniques for turning lattice top boxes similar to the one below.
