Having our first snow of the season. A little Alberta Clipper. It will probably be enough to make the grass white.

 

We have another day or so to finish up The Patriot Woodworker Raffle for our Gold Star Family. If you haven't bought a ticket, there is still time!

 

Also, again, a reminder that tagging your posts really helps visitors/members locate information for which they search. Tags are easy to do and only takes an extra second to complete.

 

@Ron Altier posted a great question this week about using shavings as a method of finishing a turning. Check out the post and the ensuing discussion-

The latest issue of Woodturning OnLine has lots of great information. They are featuring a project from Carl Jacobson which is very timely as winter begins in earnest.

There is also a PDF tutorial from Colin Spencer on turning a "pentagon" bowl. It can be seen at-

Rick Turns has posted his list of turning videos for the month of November. Rick has developed, undoubtedly, the most extensive listing of turning videos on YouTube. 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure but I believe Tim Yoder has been sipping the spiked eggnog-
