February 2, 20251 yr Popular Post comment_351114 Had a fun day yesterday. Had a full class, five students. I had everybody introduce themselves and tell how much turning experience they had. All five said they had never turned before. That made for a busy day. Report

February 4, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_351187 Yes I enjoy giving back. I was blessed to become friends with a guy I consider a master turner. He took me under his wing and taught me a lot. I really enjoy teaching the classes at Woodcraft and helping teach at the open shop mentoring at our club. Report
