I attended the MPG and came home with some great door prizes/donations...
This is my first thank you to those who were very generous!
A Titanium gold/Black Chrome Le Roi. Donated by Smitty! THANK YOU.
The blank I casted for a friend from our local AAW Chapter who did a demo on casting Alumilite (A "younger" member...25'ish.) he did a nice job but... (Hope I won't offend anyone), Pen Turners have Casting down!!! Bowl Turners (George Watkins, and others don't count - they are Masters!), are very behind the curve.
I guess it may be because pen turners have been making their own blanks for ages, and traditional woodturners use mostly wood. This is NO criticism - just my observation.
Thank you for your donation Smitty!
