Notes on OPEN TURNING
On most meeting nights we are trying to hold an "Open Turning" session 
an hour before the meeting for anyone who is interested in making a few
chips or learning from others. There are seven full size lathes available
for us to use courtesy of the WCC. Most are 1-1/2 HP JET brand Model 
JWL-1642EVS. 

Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to share and have
fun! A general selection of turning tools are available at each lathe 
station, along with a limited number of scroll jaw chucks. The spindles 
are 1-1/4" x 8tpi and have MT#2 tapers on the head and tail stocks. 
You must supply your own wood to turn. 
If you use a lathe even the littlest bit, please be sure to assist in the
clean up efforts just prior to the meeting at 6:30pm. We need to insure
that we leave the woodshop's lathe area cleaner than we found it that 
night.
