This was our last meeting before Christmas so was a very relaxed affair with the lathes brought out for anyone to use and an good amount of time just spent chatting and eating – luxuries that we can’t usually fully indulge in with an evening meeting.
By the way, just a reminder that our next meeting will be on Wednesday 15th January 2025 – there is no January 1st meeting.
Roger and Gerald spent some time playing at making fronds on a Christmas tree (peeling cuts to make the wood curl back) while others stood around and watched and, hopefully, learned something.
Mick spent time teaching sharpening techniques and demonstrating how sharp tools make a difference to the ease of turning wood.
With plenty of Christmas grub bought along by everyone, there was a fair bit left over at the end – usually a good sign that everyone had had their fill!
Merry Christmas
And A
Happy, Safe And Enjoyable New Year Of Woodturning
To All
