For The Newbies-

Mike Peace discusses something a little different this week.

When I first started turning, I joined the AAW but after a year, I let my membership expire. I have since renewed because I found the organization offered more learning opportunities than I first realized.

Thinking about buying a used lathe? Here are some tips from the Turners Warehouse

Expand Your Horizons-

Member @calabrese55 creates fantastic turnings from segmented blanks. Alan Stratton shows us how he designs his segmented turnings-

Last week @Rusty S posted a pumpkin he turned/carved. It's not a pumpkin but Tim Yoder demonstrates the processes and tools he uses.

So, you have run out of scraps to turn! Fret not because Richard Raffan has you covered

If you still have a few scraps in that box-
