My shop is unique in that it is fully enclosed in 1/2 of a 2 stall garage. It is 17′ x 8′ x 10′ h.
I built it almost solely towards turning wood. I will have my Boring Bar and Laser set up on my lathe for hollowing a vessel, and I will show how I use my compressor for both air pressure and vacuum chuck needs and how I use an old furnace fan system to clear all airborne dust particles from shop in under 5 min. Coffee also available. I am in a strata complex but I’m sure parking will be adequate with the help of my neighbors.
Keith Ruttan Saturday, 16 April 1:00pm to 4:00pm

I am planning to demonstrate how I approach cutting out pieces on a large maple burl (approx. 32 x 16 x 8) for my square bowls. Also looking for input on my dust collection system. Coffee, tea and snacks.
