Club Night – 2nd November 2022

The evenings demonstration was done by Ian George who set out to make a Christmas tree decoration that looked like an inside out turned item but wasn’t. He started with a block of wood and drilled holes through 2 sides using a forstener bit.

These holes made the “windows” of the ornament. The last face was drilled with a hole to suit the tenon in the finials. The block was turned to round and shaped and finials then created to make the final article. For the remaining time of the evening Ian made a snowman with a top hat. All very impressive, the only problem is that no photo’s of the items were taken. Sorry about that.

The November competition table was full with many varied and excellent items.

3rd place went to Dave Simms with his 3 piece band.

2nd place went to Roger Gilbert with his 3 cornered bowl.

There was a joint first place with Ken Garratt’s piggy bank and Colin Humphries table skittles game.
