Meet friends old and new; watch and learn new turning techniques; hands on classes on all levels of woodturning.
Monthly club meetings are open to all members and visitors and are generally held the 3rd Thursday of the month. Come early to buy drawing tickets then the meeting starts at 7:00pm. We begin with a little bit of business and announcements. Many members bring items they have turned for a ‘show and tell’ session. Following a short break we raffle off many tools and supplies to the attendees. Usually around 8pm is when the demonstration begins. The end is around 9pm when we all pitch in to clean up and put away the chairs and equipment.
Demonstrations: DAW demonstrates at other venues from time to time by turning at schools, local wood stores, art galleries, and civic clubs.
