Wedgie Sled – from the basics to fascinating

If you are a segmented woodturner (or want to be) this presentation is a must if you have been looking for an easy way to make segments that are accurate every time. Tom will demonstrate how to make and use the “wedgie” sled, originally designed by Jerry Bennett. This method does not require making half-rings or using a disc sander, which will save time and money.  Tom will also share tips and tricks to make decorative center pieces, rings with compound cuts and zig-zag segments.  We’re also looking forward to hearing about Tom’s AAW Symposium presentations in June.

Also, on the agenda:
Show & Tell – Please bring your recent work and tell us what you learned when making it.
Raffle – Remember the Craft Supplies gift certificate raffle!
Volunteers Wanted – Please contact John Skarja with your offer to demonstrate your woodturning skills at an upcoming meeting.
Sharing Session – Wednesday, July 18th, 6 p.m.
