There is no critiquing unless you ask for it. ALSO, it was requested by a member, that people bring to the gallery their mistakes, blow ups, and wall bangers, and to explain what happened to cause the mishap. This can be of benefit not only to new turners, but some of us veteran turners too. There wasn't enough wood for a raffle....PLEASE bring wood for the raffle. Like myself, everyone has wood going to waste that we can't get to to turn. Let someone else benefit from this wood, and help the club out too. New turners are always needing a place to get wood, and the best place is the WOOD RAFFLE. And last up for the day was Andy Leonard demoing how to make those beautiful bangles. What great Christmas gifts and wife warmers these items could be. See details below of his demo. See you in December....come out and vote, bring gallery items, bring wood for the raffle.
