    Thumbs up Congrats to Robert McGowen - Winner/Segmented Category!!

    Robert McGowen was the top vote getter in the Segmented Category of the SMC Fall Turning 2010 Contest!!! Congratulations, Robert!!

    Robert will receive the following prizes:

    Sean Ackerman of ToolNut has donated a SuperNova 2 chuck. David Woodruff, of PD Woods, has donated a 4" tool rest of his special design. In addition, Doug Thompson of Thompson Lathe Tools has donated a 5/8"" V Bowl Gouge, and a 1/2" V Bowl Gouge.

    All of the entries were great examples of the talent on SMC. A great big THANKS to all that participated, and a special THANK YOU for the great prizes donated by our contest sponsors.

    This event would not have been possible without these folks. Please show your appreciation for their support of our forum!

    Thank you to everyone that helped this come together like it did. I know that there was lot of behind-the-scenes work by the moderators. Also, thank you to everyone that participated by voting and entering their own pieces that they turned. And a really big thanks to the sponsors!

    It is nice to be recognized by someone other than your spouse!
