Monthly Demonstration Meetings

The Peace River Woodturners conduct monthly lathe and woodturning-related demonstration meetings.  A short business meeting is held to keep Members up-to-date on current Club happenings. During "Show & Tell", individual PRW Members show and discuss turnings they have brought to the meeting. Members will see the up-close details on large monitors throughout the meeting room of the physical lathe processes/techniques used to turn a wide variety  of projects, depending on the subject for that meeting. Everyone is encouraged to ask questions and discuss techniques with the demonstrator, and to mingle with the others during short breaks in the meeting's program..

                 MONTHLY DEMONSTRATION MEETING             SPECIAL DAYTIME SATURDAY MEETING: 10 AM TO 12:30 PM

    LIVE & IN-PERSON IN THE PRICE HOUSE

     Short business meeting followed by Member Show & Tell of woodturning projects, and demonstration/discussion.

    Demonstration: Tips & Jigs & Helpful Ideas -    presented by all of our attending Members!

    Refreshments:  Still Needed


            JIGS &  TIPS & HELPFUL STUFF        "Members-Presented" Demo

    Most Members have specialty jigs & tips & other helpers you've created (or purchased) that you use in your shops to make turning certain procedures easier, quicker, or safer, or better - We'd love to have you share your ideas & suggestions!

    The last time we had this type of a meeting, there were LOTS of ideas and "Why didn't I think of that?" moments where everyone learned great hints from each other.

    So look around your shop, then bring along a few of your "simple-but-brilliant" hacks, jigs, tools, and ideas that can help us all be just a bit more efficient, creative, and productive in our woodworking! 

    How do you store your sandpaper? 

    How do you organize your tools?

    What have you tried that worked surprisingly well?

    What's you favorite turning tip?
