June's meeting included
shared turnings with a discussion about details of items brought for show
& tell.
The demo was left open for club decision. We ended up talking about
setting up the grinder properly for use with the Wolverine Sharpening
System. This was followed by demonstration of sharpening different types
of turning tools: gouges, scrapers, etc. Several members wanted copies of
the AAW article on how to set up their grinders. There were lots of
comments about how this was helpful; especially from some that are just
starting out.
Jake brought a challenge of turning items from wood that came from the
hanging tree in Goliad. He provided several pieces of wood for members to
take. Finished items would be given to a lady in Goliad that he got the
wood from. She would sell them and donate the money to a charity in
Goliad.
