Invitation:
Hello from the Blue Ridge Woodturners,
We wanted to let you know about some upcoming demo's and invite members of your clubs to join us as our guests. Please pass the info on to your members.
Steve Antonucci will do a double hitter demo. Blue Ridge on June 20 and SML on June 21. Starting at 7p.
Steve, turning for about 15 years, pretty good turner for about the last 5 years. Teaches Intro to Woodturning at Peters Valley to overcome that 10 year learning period :-) Engineer by degree, but pays the bills selling technology to Fortune 500 companies and our friends in the Government. Will retire to a traveling woodturner/demonstrator some day when the 4 kids are grown, but that's still 15 years or so out. Lived in NJ all of his life, in a lake community where he tries to fit in woodworking with family life, fishing, and a variety of other distractions. Steve is doing these demos for us in memory of Ed Moore.
June 20- Steve will do the ins and outs of hollowform turning; talk about the do's and don'ts and make a medium sized vessel.( Thursday June 21 Steve will demo for the SML club. He is planning to forge a hook tool for end grain work. Time permitting,make a handle for the tool, the hook tool, and cut something with it (a goblet or a box...). The reason for the date changes is scheduling between Steve and the facilities both clubs rent. Steve is well know for his hollow vessels, so this is a great opportunity to take advantage of what he has to offer.
Steve does beautiful hollow forms....check them out http://www.aawforum.org/photopost/member.php?uid=16628&protype=1
Hope some of you can join us.
