    a little more detail would maybe help someone remember the thread you're talking about....

    In the meantime, you can use Google, (or I assume other search engines,) to search just this site by adding: "site:sawmillcreek.org" to your search terms. (BTW- without the quotes.)

    I don’t recall an SMC thread on women and turning. Perhaps you saw it on AAW as there is a new committee there by that name.

    Left click my name for homepage link.

    I think the AAW might have that link. It seems that there is a group that connects at the Symposium every year, which this year is in Portland, OR.

    WIT is a virtual chapter of the AAW, of which my wife (Ellen) is a member.
    Besides having meetings at many symposiums, they have a special event at Arrowmount this Sept that the AAW recently sent a message out about.
    Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that is more by accident then design.

    WHY separate the women from the men ????, at our turning club we had a few women turners and they were part of it, not separate, they did well and often earned the top prizes.

    I don’t see a good reason for separate groups, be it men or women, together we can learn from each other, I liked it that we had women in the club, makes it more civilized IMO.
    Have fun and take care

    I like that you seem to answer your own question:

    They’re probably content with having it perfectly civilized by having their separate group.

    It makes the men in the club with the men and women in it acting in a more civilized manner
