Rick Stone
Spindle Work
Description:
Rick Stone treated us to a very interesting demonstration on making your own custom handles for
woodturming tools. Especially interesting to me was the use of a brass flair nut to create a perfect ferrule at the tool end. Oh, and not to forget, another must-have tool was introduced, the “DrillWizard from ONEWAY Manufacturing. It was used to help create the detail at the end of the tool handle.

Larry Sefton
Using Casting Resins and Mold Making
Description:
One of the things I like so much about our monthly demonstrations is an opportunity to learn from
other woodturners. Most of us could spend a lifetime in this hobby and not come close to learning all there is to know. There are so many directions to take in this woodturning endeavor. Last month Larry Sefton shared years of learning about resins and resin casting with us. I was very impressed with his logical and methodical coverage of the topic. Thank you Larry, Another great job.
