Monthly LEARN TO TURN  / SKILLS ENHANCEMENT

Right now these are being done virtually though Zoom.
 
Due to the fact that trying to keep up three demos per month (2-open shop/Monthly meeting) is becoming extremely difficult, we are going to stop pre-planned demos for the second open shop. So we may just have a open discussion on woodturning topics on that Saturday. We will notify everyone if someone will be at Metro on the forth Saturday for those whom might want to come in and turn.
    
     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, 
    
     Learn to Turn / Skills Enhancement 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.
