Report on our meeting 27-10-2022. Managed by John Ruickbie.

Our meeting this week on Thursday 27th October was managed by John Ruickbie, John did this presentation as a solo event, his theme for the presentation was how to make Staved Construction items, in lay mans terms how to make use of Barrel making techniques in woodturning. There wouldn’t be a lot of turning in this presentation as most of what John put forward was more to do with how to construct an item for turning that used Staved Construction methods.
