September 2019 Club Meeting

Hello, everyone,
We’re kicking off our fall season with Tom Lohman’s segmented turning demo and workshop. Thank you, Tom, for sharing your time and talents with our club in this way. Those of you who aren’t familiar with his work, Tom is nationally recognized as an expert on segmented turning and his work has been selected for AAW’s Turning of the Week twice so far this year. 

If you, too, want to share your expertise with club members in a demo and/or workshop, please contact John Skarja  at 218-464-8129 to schedule your event. 

LSW September Meeting, Demo and Workshop
Saturday, September 14, 9:00 a.m. 
H&H Exports, 1205-93rd Ave. W., Morgan Park
Demo description
: Tom will show how to design a segmented bowl on paper; no software needed. We will go over the math–no worries, we’ll use easy formulas. Then we will go from design to build. Tom will highlight some key points of the build process to ensure you end up with a successful project. In addition to the traditional build, Tom will demonstrate how to build a vessel using a gluing jig to make vessels with 48 to 180 segments per row (or more).
