Hand's on Workshops
In an effort to extend our membership's skills the Woodturners of Southwest
Missouri (WSWMO) club will be holding a series
of workshops for our membership, and others as desired. These workshops
are designed to get people actually in there and working for themselves.
Different from our monthly meetings where we watch, listen and learn from a
demonstrator, Workshop attendees will be handling the tools, learning and
creating the projects themselves. We will have instructors or leaders
there to guide you. Ask them questions, share your own experiences and take
advantage of this great resource. If you have a suggestion for a future
workshop or would like to volunteer your time for an upcoming workshop, please feel free
to contact Mike or the webmaster
To sign up for a workshop, please contact a club officer/committee member. You do need to sign up for
these. We need to be sure to have
enough equipment and instructors available for the attendance.
Upcoming Workshops
May 19th, 2009 9:30 - 12:30pm
Take a look at the flyer
for more information.
For those of you that signed up at the ArtFest on Walnut Street , this is the workshop. This workshop is aimed at the beginning woodturner that may have never even
put a piece of wood on the lathe before. If you want to learn how it is
done, this workshop is for you.

Introduction to Woodturning We'll be
hosting this workshop to help introduce both older and younger people to our
wonderful craft and art. It's a great way to educate the public and let
our club members show off their talents with a whole new crowd. We will
start with the very basics of the lathe, tools, and safety. Quickly,
we'll go right into having each team practice some basic skills and then start
making projects. The shavings will be flying; the smiles will be filling
the place!!! Come help put on this event. We'll have a great
time.
We're limiting this workshop to 5
attendees. This will allow us to give each student personal attention and hands-on help. Each turning station will includ a lathe, tools, materials and an experienced club
member helping out. Pricing is $20 per person.
Stay tuned for more information about this event as we get them in
here. Contact a club officer for more
information or to signup today.
