The 2008 “It’s Your Turn” Woodturning Expedition is a new concept in regional woodturning symposiums. It is your chance to step up to the lathe and have a mentor guide you as you do the turning!
On each of the two days of the Expedition, there will be two traditional demonstrations by professional VA turners. In addition to the traditional demonstrations, there will be 12 stations with talented VA turners guiding you in areas of their expertise as you do the hands on turning at the lathe. There will also be two sharpening stations, one on each side of the large demonstration building. Virginia AAW chapter club members will also be on hand at each sharpening station to help you learn more about the best way to sharpen your lathe tools.
Bring your own favorite bowl gouge, or whatever tool you want help with, or use the tools that will be available at the 12 mentor guided stations.
Professional Demonstrators:
· Barbara Dill– Multi-axis spindle turning,
· Ed Moore—Marine life & woodworking,
· Jim Vogel—Getting the bends when hollowing,
. Walt Bennett - Oval Woodturning with the Vicmarc VOD
· and many local turners to help when It’s Your Turn.
When: November 1st and 2nd (setup October 31st)
Where: Expoland, Fishersville, VA. Exit 91 on Interstate 64, just east of the junction of Interstate 64 and Interstate 81 in central VA
Entrance fees: $50 for both days of the expedition, $35 for one-day attendance. Registration is at the door.
Tool, lathes, exotic woods, burls, and more: Several local and regional vendors and tool supply houses will have displays and tools for your hands-on inspection and for sale (often at show-only special pricing).
