For Christmas, LOML gave me a registration to the two-day Tennessee Association of Woodturners' Annual Symposium. Two days of David Ellsworth, Ernie Conover, Nick Cook and Andy Woodard turning and instructing all day long. We drove up from Huntsville AL in the morning and LOML spent the days either with a friend or at the Opryland Hotel and Mall. I didn't have to worry about anything but learning techniques for turning. What a great time! The demonstrators were all wonderful instructors and very approachable. (David showed me what I'd been doing wrong using his sharpening jig.) I'd really like to thank the members of the TAW. They put on a first class show!

If you have a weekend symposium in your area, I fully recommend attending.

Now I just have to get more time on the lathe so I can practice!
