Fellow Turners: The July meeting was very well attended and for those of you who were unable to attend, the mystery man, Hal Simmons, presented an enjoyable demonstration. He reminded us that things don’t always go as planned, but then, that is why I enjoy turning so much. If every piece turned out as I envisioned, where would the challenge be?

Grinding Wheels

Prior to the start of the June meeting a few of us were talking about the grinding wheels in stock at Woodcraft. There is so much new information out there that a little refresher is in order.

I am only going to be writing about wheels for woodturners. Since most of us use tools made with high speed steel ( HSS ) I will narrow my comments further.
