Now that the 2016 MPG has been set for April 8,9, 2016, we are trying to finalize the demo list and did not want to leave anyone out. If you would like to present a demo at the 2016 MPG, we would love to have you. Please acknowledge.

Since I already was confirmed I assume you have me for turning alternative (non - wood) pens. It will be a good starter / beginner to intermediate overview. Would prefer to go early as a foundation type demo.

Bob,
If I were closer, I would be willing to help out.
I am sure MPG will be a great experience for those who can demo and attend!

I could do a demo on any one of these three general areas:
1. I've just about perfected an alternative method of casting that I could talk about. I would be using epoxy for casting, no smells.
2. I can always talk about any aspect of selling. I suspect that after 2-3 years many pen makers lose interest because the are accumulating pens and not selling much. Learning the fundamentals of selling would keep more turners interested for longer. We have been selling at art shows for 8 years now and volume goes up every year.
3. I can round off a square resin blank in 15 seconds and finish turning it in well under 2 minutes, a little faster for wood. That would be a quick demo.
