I suspect John Hammer who is largely resposible for our(Colorado Woodworkers Guild) turnathon will post some news about our event last saturday.
I had the best time! We had I think as many as 6 lathes running at one point. People would come up and talk with us.. we even had a few folks turn there first pen with our guidence. I was fortunate enough to be able to do this a couple of times. I even got to teach a 6 year old to turn his first pen. Was a hoot! HE was so little and I did not have any eye protection that would fit him :) So I held my face shield between him and the lathe and with the other hand some how guided the tool and his hands over theblank.. Did this for a short time and I finished turning it and he helped sand and finsh the pen. He was delighted and I must say he made my day as well! :D
Was great time and we are allready contemplating another turnathon somtime in near future.
