Looks like March is going to be a busy Month for Turn-A-Thons. Got one scheduled for March 6th and working on one for March 20th.....

[Don Abele]

Keith, I put it on my calendar - I'll be there. Maybe learn a thing or two about these spinny things that everyone is always talking about. Thanks.

Be well,

Doc

Bob,
Thanks Bob for the great idea. I'll bet the Turn-A-Thons are very productive and just as much fun I can't wait till March 13th...and I will get to meet SMC members and a lot of other woodworkers in the bargain.

Don,
Thanks for planning to attend, I may need some help!

Julie,
Make sure you post all of the details for each event, we will most likely post a new web page with Turn-A-Thon listings.

[Keith Outten]

Julie,

Please post a new thread with the details for the March 6th Turn-A-thon. I will add a calendar event with a link to your new thread.

Hi, Keith...will try to make it there. What do we need to bring with us, just our turning tools?

I expect that Woodcraft will have turning tools and I think they are planning to make 7 or 8 lathes available.

Jerry,

You bet but if we win it will have to be a classic Coke for me

WAIT! . . . WAIT . . . FOUL!!!

I just noticed that yours is from 9am-9pm while ours is only 10am -5pm (store closes at 6). We only have 6 lathes . . .

We should have a handicap to even things up!!!

Jerry,

I just changed our hours for the Norfolk Turn-A-Thon to 9am till 6pm. These are the normal hours for our Woodcraft store.

(grin) If you feel you need a handicap no problem. The Tidewater Turners are an old and well established group of wood turners, I expect they will be up to the task. (end grin)

Let's Rock!

Keith, I got a flyer from Woodcraft in the mail yesterday. No mention of the Turn-a-thon But they did have several other classes and seminars scheduled on that day. Is there any conflict or do they normally do them and the turning in separate rooms?

[Ted Calver]

Don,
They've got lots of space and we are still good to go.

See you there!
Ted
