Each year Kevin McPeek and I hold a turner gathering at our shops in SE Gilbert AZ. We just decided on Oct 20th as the date for this years.
Usually it starts about 9 am and goes until people leave. Not sure exactly what is in the plan for this year but if you are interested in coming PM me your e-mail address.
For those of you that don't know Kevin and I live about 30 yards away from each other and between our two shops we have 2 full sized lathes and two mini's.
