With 2021 quickly coming to an end, I am extending my wishes to all the Patriot members for a healthy and safe New Year. Thanks to all who made our Ward 57 Christmas drive a success and good luck in the raffle.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@Steveo posted a request for help for deciding on a new lathe. Steve did turning a while back and is now interested in renewing his passion. Check out his post and see if you can offer some advice-

 

 

Some time back, @Bob Hodge inquired about a lathe upgrade. He recently updated his post with an additional comment. Maybe you can offer some suggestions-

 

 

And, @RustyFN added a comment to @KevTN's post. Kevin was looking for more information on what lathe he should purchase. Maybe you can offer some advice-

 

 

@Static_LV gave us an accounting of one of his latest turning projects. It was quite an adventure. The finished product is absolutely gorgeous!

 

 

 

@HandyDan shared a link to the 2021 Christmas Ornament Challenge. Thanks, Dan!

Thanks for the update Lew. Looks like we had another busy week even with Christmas in the middle

Plenty of stuff for me to droll over....  

Thanks Lew.  Busy week.  Enjoyed the bowl from a Cube video.

Another great post @lew.  New stuff to consider and liked the cube bowl.  I may have to give that a try some day.  We have many folks here smitten with the bug to turn and that is great.  Can hardly wait to see pictures of their creations.  Thanks, Lew.

 

 

Sorry for just getting back here to thank everyone for the very kind comments.
