March Demonstration: Pen Turning
Doug Grissom demonstrated his
skills at pen turning to an enthusiastic crowd.
Doug discussed the art of pen turning as he demonstrated. |
It all starts with blanks. |
Doug made it look easy!. |
One of the keys to successful pen turning is the
speed of the lathe. |
Doug displayed some of the many pens he has made for
members to salivate over. |
Faces In the Crowd and Other Pictures
As is typical at GCWA meetings, there were many well turned items for
the judges to select from. |
Tom Enloe and Bill Berry go over the selection of items
that can be checked out of GCWA's extensive library. |
Club President George Kabacinski. |
There was a good turnout for March's meeting |
Another picture of the many items offered on the
Show & Tell tables. |
Here are individual pictures of some of the items that were presented
for consideration at March's meeting.
