I am fortunate enough to have accepted a slot to do a demo at the Woodturners Worldwide Online Symposium on Sept 24, 11:00 AM – Sept 26, 6:00 PM. This looks like a great event. Current demonstrators include Michael Alguire, Mike Mahoney, Rebecca DeGroot, Jeff Hornung, Raleigh Lockhart, Cindy Drozda, Matthew Deighton, Greg Gallegos, Graeme Priddle/Melissa Engler, Harvey Meyer, and Jason Clark. Additional demonstrators will likely be announced.
