This being a hands-on meeting, two lathes were set up, with Mick Denton presiding over his sharpening station to one side.
The more experienced turners gave assistance to a number of members, helping them to overcome problems (rotten tool control in my case – thanks Roger) and Mick helped with sharpening issues, whilst Ken was working with Graham on spindle turning.
Roger even had time to try out one of Mick’s tipped hollowing tools – nice to use.
Those who were not directly involved had plenty of time for a good chinwag, all of which led to a very pleasant evening.
