High School turning demo


            Yesterday, November 17 the Glacier Woodturners Association from Kalispell put on a demo for the Flathead High School shop program. Over the course of 4 class periods many projects were demonstrated. Larry made custom file handles from a 1919 plan, Norm made mini tops, a Christmas Bell ornament and other small items, Joanne did finials (the small tops to boxes and ornaments that look like icicles), Al turned bowls from Box Elder and Elm, while I did plates from Maple. (see photos below).
            While this is going on Rich was playing MC, giving introductions, answering questions from the kids and generally directing them to look at the different projects happen. We have another demo planned for December at the Whitefish High School where we will do similar types of work.
