Our meeting on Thursday 6th March 2025 was a demonstration by Mark Sutton on the art of making boxes.

After being introduced by our new chairman, Mark gave the meeting a short history about his turning. He was a founding member of this club that started in 2006 and is still a member today. His involvement in the demonstration circuit came about by Alec asking Mark to do demonstrations at our premises. This led on to him doing demonstrations elsewhere . Mark always comes back to his roots in the club when invited to do a demonstration.

Our next meeting will be on Thursday 14th November 2024, it’s being organized by Susan Drew and Susan’s theme for the meeting is to make use of a Pyrography tool to embellish her woodturnings. Susan has an excellent touch when it comes to using a Pyrography machine, something she hopes to pass on to some of the club turners. We as turners don’t seem to have the magic touch that Susan has for this very delicate art, but it is something we all appreciate and would like to emulate.
