Pen Turning Seminar @ Kitchener Waterloo Woodshow

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi,

I will have a both again this year at the annual KW Wood show (March 11-13).

I have had a booth there for about 6 or 7 years now. Most years I have given informal seminars, pen makers drop by and I talk pen making, I have my lathe and tools with me so it's hands on.

I have taught classes at LV and also given turning club presentations in the past, it's fun, but it's hard to know what people would like to hear.

This year I have the opportunity to set up scheduled seminars, 2 a day each of the three days. I have a good idea what I would like to teach, but I would like to hear your ideas please, if you can attend the show what would you like me to cover?

I am thinking 4 main topics, repeated through the three days, 2 a day, an hour per seminar.

So if I could help you, what would you like me to demonstrate?

See ya there!

I'll drop by and say hello anyway, and of course Bill and Lilian. That's the only show I attend (mostly for the carvings). Look forward to meeting you.
