    Pro turner: Joe Wujcik

    I don't have a lathe myself, but I still enjoy browsing in the turner's forum here at the creek and seeing all of the great work that you guys produce. Last night I had the chance to actually watch a professional woodturner at my monthly woodworker's guild meeting. Joe Wujcik came and demonstrated his techniques for creating hollow forms. His website is below with lots of gallery pics.

    Joe was a great presenter and it was really cool to see him using some of the tools and techniques that I have read about on this forum. He is a really nice guy and was very willing to share everything he has learned.
    If I could ever finish working on my shop, maybe I could find the time to start working in my shop.

    Tim - that must have been one heck of a demo! Wish I could have seen that! Thanks for posting the website! Already saved it for future reference as it is just filled with exceptional hollow forms! Appreciate it!

    Had the pleasure of meeting Joe at the Gulf Coast Arts Festival in Pensacola in November and he does fantastic work and is enjoyable to talk to.

    Sent Joe an e-mail

    I sent Joe an e-mail after looking at his web site. I was curious how he came up with the prices and if he was selling things. He replied and said that he started out like the rest of us and kept raising the prices until now one would buy them then adjusted them accordingly. He said the economy has hit him also.

    So I would have to say a very nice fellow of high standards and class!
