Mid-Continent Library Display
Hello Independence Turners,
We have been presented with the excellent opportunity to promote the Independence Woodturners club by showing off your work and artistic talent. From November 22nd until December 19th, we have the display case at the Lee’s Summit East Branch of the Mid-Continent Library (that’s the one east of the LS Hospital). So, please join us and dust off some of your favorite woodturning and help us show the public some of the great things we can do with wood (or other material) on the lathe.
The display case is about 80 inches tall, 75 inches wide and 12 to 14 inches deep, with glass front and will be locked up to keep your artwork safe. There are four shelves about 11 inches deep to display our woodturnings. (see photo below.) The tallest we can display is about 14 inches.
To take part in this, simply send an email to Mel Bryan at this email address by clicking on this link; mrwudb@gmail.com rather than replying to this message. Please indicate how many pieces you want to display so that we can make name cards for your display. Currently, the plan is to meet at the library at 10AM on Nov. 22 (Monday) to populate the case. If you cannot make it then, please contact me by phone (816-830-0107) or email (the same as above), (can be the signup email) and we’ll work out some way to collect your items.
These displays are always very popular with the public and library staff also. The variety of items can be very inspiring to the casual observer as well as the craftsman, so dig out your favorites and show them off.
Thank you for participating and helping our club and taking our “Show & Tell” a step up and ahead.

Monthly LEARN TO TURN / SKILLS ENHANCEMENT
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.
