ONE DAY LEEFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Patriot Turners-

@Gerald started a new topic for our turners! I hope we can make this one as popular as the one @RustyFN started for showing what's on our lathes!

So far we've had two members add items.

Let's make this topic sail to the "Most Posts" list!

Our other continuing topic of "What's On Your Lathe" also had activity!

Expand Your Horizons-

It's just past the first of the month and the videos from "4 Ways" is available. This month Richard Raffan, Tomislav Tomasic, Sam Angelo and Mike peace each turn their version of a natural edge bowl.
