At shout and tell I displayed a bowl with wood eggs and told the folks present about my website that has a page on monthly turning tips. Januarys was how to turn an egg. Februarys is a photo of how a wood turner stores his chisels and a blurb on turning green wood.  Several suggested that we swap links so all the members of CCW that have PC access can view the monthly turning tips.

This is an email I recieved from the web site... Mark


Dear Sir,

Our company organizes the Woodturning Cruise, taking place in Norway august this year.

We would be very grateful if you could put up a link on your website: www.woodturningcruise.com . Please find a picture attached to this email that can be used to highlight the link.

In brief, The Woodturning Cruise is a floating woodworking show which sails from Stavanger to the North Cape and return, crossing the Arctic Circle into the land of the Midnight sun! Onboard we will have top turners from all over the world, Richard Raffan, Mark Baker, Jimmy Clewes, Nick Agar and a lot more. These guys will be demonstrating in the harbours for our visiting customers and when we sail the passengers can use the lathes and tools. They will also get some tuition on the way! Onboard you will find passengers from all over the world! All with a genuine interest for wood and woodworking!

Please check our website for more information!



In advance – thank you for helping us promoting this unique event!

http://www.woodturningonline.com/Turning/Turning_projects.html  It is an online woodturning project plans page. This page provides a list of all the projects that have online tutorials.  They are either in word docs or videos.  Topics range from: balls, bowls, mallets, stools, urns, etc.   I've used this site several times too & found it very helpful.
Thanks Lynda for this cool page!
