Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners August 24, 2022

[lew]

Can you believe it, school is starting this week!!!  I don't think I'll miss substituting.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

Our sponsors Laguna and Easy Wood Tools are awesome. Both sponsors are doing their part to help our veterans by supporting the "Vets Turn" program. This video, from Laguna Tools, gives us an idea just how much the Vets Turn program means to those participating.

 

 

 

You may remember @PostalTom started a chess set for his grandson. Well he has finished all the chess pieces and they look marvelous!

 

Tom tells us about this part of his adventure and what comes next-

 

 

@RustyFN finished up the lidded box he made for his Mrs. and it is awesome! We showed the "before" picture of the Milliput bands and now we get to see the how it turned out-

 

Lots of great comments from our turners-

 

 

Rusty is this week's winner for the most turning related posts. He was lucky enough to score these turning accessories, and more, from his local Woodcraft store-

 

Check out the complete list-

 

 

What’s Coming Up-

SWAT is happening this coming weekend. Several turners will be doing live remotes. I received this email from Lyle Jamieson explaining how to see the streaming videos from Cindy Drozda and Todd Raines

 

 

For Tod's, use this link- https://www.youtube.com/c/WoodturningToolStore

 

For Cindy's, use this link- https://www.youtube.com/user/cindydrozda/featured

 

 

The Mid-Atlantic Woodturning Symposium has posted their list of demonstrators-

For The Newbies-

Looking for inspirations for creating new turnings? Mike Peace's video has some ideas

Expand Your Horizons-

From the AAW-

Looking for something different to embellish your turnings? Maybe Carol Hall has something you'll find attractive-

 

 

Alan Stratton makes an unusual jewelry tray for a wedding present. Check out the shop made jaws for his scroll chuck-

 

 

More and more prominent turners are turning (no pun intended) to multiple social media platforms to share their knowledge. No longer is YouTube the only source of information for the isolated turner. Although platforms like Facebook and Instagram are the bane of most of us over the age of 50 (far over, for me), I am finding more and more information available from folks like Cindy Drozda, Lyle Jamieson, Jim Echter etc. If you have a Facebook account, maybe checkout some of your favorite turners. As an example-

Maybe something new will show up at SWAT.
