I will not be able to make it, my sister will be in town that day.
Keep me informed of other special events to help out.

 I plan to be there early to set up and will stay a few more hours to
assist the turners.

coming to A Line on October 10 to learn some woodturning. Duane has
seven lathes at A Line and I have five members committed to assist and
teach. So a few more members are needed to come out for a Saturday
morning to help out. Your help will truly be appreciated. I would like
everyone who can make it for an hour or two or the entire morning to
let me know if they are able to make it. The children will be from
about 4th grade through high school age. Some will have good eye-hand
coordination and can do more complex projects, some won't. But we want
to give them all a chance to apply a tool to a spinning piece of wood.

and their parent will arrive at 8:30 and we will break into
turner-child groups for a half hour to perhaps an hour, teach some
woodturning then move on to the next child. The length of time with
each child depends upon how many show up and how many turners we have
available; and the attention span and level of interest of each child.
Depending on how fast we progress, there may be a parent or two that
would like to apply a tool to a piece of wood at the end. The event
will end about 11:30 or noon.

chuck and centers.

protection for a nearby parent is important too since parents are
likely to stand fairly close to watch their child create, so bring an
extra set of safety glasses or goggles.

bring some wood too. Clyde would like to teach pen making, younger
children may simply enjoy making a top too. The age of the child is
important in deciding what to make so be versatile with the options
you consider.

children to stand on to reach the lathe.
