One of the cool benefits of being a part of AWG is posting pictures of your work on www.atlantawoodturnersguild.org. Each month you see each other’s talent on our Show and Tell Page. This month we would also like to publish your President’s Challenge Entries. Here’s how:
- Take a picture of how you hang/store/organize your turning tools with your camera or phone.
- If it’s a digital picture, email a copy to webmaster@atlantawoodturnersguild.org before our next meeting so I can have it ready to show on the big screen at Woodcraft. You could also create a copy on a diskette, CD, DVD or USB Flash Drive and bring it to our September meeting. (JPG files are nice, but send what you’ve gotJ)
- If you don’t have access to a digital camera… take a picture and bring it to our meeting in September. Or email webmaster@atlantawoodturnersguild.org and we’ll figure it out.
Here are a couple examples, let’s see yours before the 15th

August Demonstration.
This Wednesday, 8/18/10, Tania Radda from Arizona will present. I have attended a couple of her presentations in the past and they were very interesting. Traditionally, her demonstrations involve decoration and embellishment of her turnings and/or discussion of the creative process. Below is a link to her website definitely not a mainstream turner! http://www.taniaradda.com/
