My shop is well organized and optimized for turning and surface enhancements. Lots of tools, compressed air, vacuum chuck, dust collection etc. I will have a number of pieces in various stages so I can show the steps I go through from design, turning, carving, pyrography, colour and finish. I will show a little bit of each step and talk about the products I use.
I will have something light to eat as well as coffee and goodies.

I plan to do some offset turnings, triangular boxes, twisted boxes, cups, and candle sticks, somewhat in the style of Barbra Dill. I will have a number of blanks laid out in various stages completion. I will also have my home-built kiln open for display and a short write up of what I have learned on drying to date.
