ALASKA WOODTURNERS MEETINGS

UPCOMING MEETINGS

2024 Meeting Schedule

All of our meetings take place on the first Saturday of the month (with some exceptions for holidays). For 20 minutes prior to each meeting, participants can bring in their woodturning tools for sharpening, and get tips on sharpening their own.  There will then be a short business meeting followed by an approximately 90 minute long woodturning demonstration.

• At our next monthly meeting on Saturday, Oct 5th, we will have a short business meeting followed with a very informative demonstration. John Lane will share many woodturning tips on everything from making the strongest tenon, to tool maintenance, to DIY turning accessory projects, to introducing you to numerous new and existing tools and accessories you may not have even been aware of. John has been lucky enough to have become close friends with several professional woodturners from throughout the world. Through these friendships, John has picked up valuable tips, tools and tool modification ideas that could help you in your turning endeavors. Now, John wants to share this information with you. I expect this discussion will be beneficial to everyone from the most experienced turner to the brand-new turner. After the demonstration/discussion John will extend an invitation to the audience to come forward to share any tip or trick that you think might be beneficial to the group. So please plan to attend, bring your woodturning tips, and enjoy a cup of coffee and a donut all the while enjoying the camaraderie of others who also love the art of woodturning.
