Rochester Woodworkers Society


The Introduction to Woodturning class was held at Woodcraft	The instructor was Ralph Mosher	The workshop was for very beginners to advanced beginners	We had a good turnout with 14 attendees

After the presentation materials, it was right to the lathes	Ralph would explain what he was going to do...	and then demonstrate it	With a small class, everyone could get up close and watch

Lunching on DiBella's subs, the official sub of the RWS	After lunch, Ralph moved into sharpening, techniques, and tools	Ralph demonstrated the proper setup and technique	Tools needing sharpening were passed around...

so they could be contrasted with properly sharpened tools	Everyone got a chance to do some sharpening	Jim Echter joined us to teach the spindle turning section	Jim brought his famous skew teaching aid
