May’s Meeting
For May the demo will be Tips, Tricks and Jigs. Bring that Jig or a picture and tell us about it. If you have a Trick to make something easier, let us know about it. The club is always looking for Tips on how you create woodturning. This can be about the Lathe or any hand or power tool used by woodturners.
DEMO CHALLENGE
April the demo was Mel Bryan doing a Femisphere. Let’s see how many can attempt this. Always something to learn when it comes to tools and methods

Monthly Open Shop
Open Shop has undergone a bit of revamping. We are now holding Open Shop each second Saturday and Fourth Saturday of the month. The intent is to accommodate as many people as possible and to involve as many turners as we can. If attendance and participation warrants it, we will increase the number of Saturdays for Open Shop during the month.
The intent and purpose of Open Shop is for any member to be able to come use a lathe and hone your skills or work on a project that you may not be able to perform on your own equipment. Or to simply receive help on any aspect of turning, whether it’s tool usage, work-piece mounting or anything turning related,
Be sure to bring you own tools and wood (or wood can be purchased at the store). And of course bring your safety equipment. Any level of turning experience is welcomed and encouraged, regardless if you’re an expert or beginner. That is what the club is for.
Open Shop is a great opportunity for any member to come together with other members where we can help each other learn, practice, work on a special project, get to know each other, make connections and share your experience with others that can benefit from it. The best way to learn is by helping others and asking questions, so, take advantage of the experience of others and if we don’t know, we can all learn together.
If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help, Mike McReynolds is the project chairman to contact. His contact info is: 816-356-7262 or jmikemc@att.net
Keep turning and be safe. See you at the next available Open Shop, which will be April 27th and is Donuts and Coffee Get Together.
