For The Newbies-

We post a lot of the activities from Cindy Drozda. This past week she shared a tour of her shop. It's great to get to see how other turners' shops are equipped and laid out-

 

 

Mike Peace posted a video discussing techniques for drying wood for turning.

 

 

 

This video from Mike Mahoney, made available through Fine Woodworking Magazine, shows how to sharpen various woodturning tools. I don't think you have to subscribe to the magazine to view the video.

Expand Your Horizons-

With Christmas fast approaching, a couple of season related turnings. One from Alan Stratton and one from Sam Angelo.

 

 

 

 

The "4-Ways" collaboration turning series posted these videos. This month's concept is to demonstrates how to turn an enclosed vessel with a height greater than its diameter, using readily available tools.
