Guild Talent At April Meeting

This month’s demonstrator was Frank Penta from North Carolina. We can now all perform off axis turnings without buying another tool…unless you really want to. Frank does mushrooms a little differently than the rest of us and we thank him for sharing his techniques with us.

Send September Challenge Pictures Today

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: 

  1. Take a picture of how you hang/store/organize your turning tools with your camera or phone. 
  2. 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)
  3. 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.

AWG Presidents Message – 8/18/10 Meeting

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/

 Presidents Challenge for August – Turn a Goblet.

 For our August meeting, the president’s challenge is to turn a Goblet (cup on a pedestal). It can be as large as you want, but I’ll give it minimum sizes of at least 5″ tall and the cup portion must be at least big enough in diameter to fit a golf ball (1.68″ diameter).
