March 2024 Monthly Meeting with Jim Miller
Jim Miller and Easy Wood Tools.
Are carbide tools your Go-To gouges? Or, are you wondering if they have a place in your tool rack? Not everyone has the time or inclination to spend hours at the lathe learning how to use the more traditional Woodturning tools, so carbide tools have grown in popularity. And one of the most popular brands is Easy Wood Tools. Our demo this month will be Jim Miller. Jim is a factory rep and will be discussing and demonstrating all aspects of using Easy Wood carbide tools.
Jim says,
I have been turning for 40+ years. And still learning!! I am amazed at the creative things done in woodturning today! I first learned a love of woodturning from my uncle. He turned many things as gifts and I learned much from his creativity. I have been able to take classes with some of the best woodturners around. My first exposure to the wider world of woodturning was at the 1985 Woodturning Conference at Arrowmont. One of the things that I was interested in as far back as the late ‘80’s, was turning pens. My interest grew after meeting Dale Nish and then starting to order supplies from Craft Supplies, USA. I have turned a lot of pens and other small items over the years and have now started to make kitless or bespoke pens, using blanks that I have cast.
As always it is best to experience the demonstration and gallery live in the studio, but if you can’t make it will be on Zoom.

Anne Ogg February 2024 monthly meeting
Anne Ogg - Turning Miniatures
It’s all about tool control! Anne Ogg will be our demonstrator this month. If you have ever tried turning something small, you know you have to get the details right. Anne will be demonstrating how to turn a 1:12 scale reproduction of a period antique. I’m sure some homemade tools will be involved.
Anne Ogg is a juried member of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans and she teaches woodturning at UNC Asheville in SkillSet, a community outreach program that began in 2018 as a shop class for girls and now expands its reach to all members of the community. She is a current board member and past president of Carolina Mountain Woodturners, the largest chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. She has demonstrated for clubs in Tennessee and North Carolina.
It is always best to experience the demonstration and gallery live in the studio, but if you can’t make it, it will be on Zoom. (Ric Erkes wants to apologize for last month’s Zoom difficulties. It was a technical glitch that he believes has been solved.)
The Zoom link is new, so be sure to use this one!

January 2024 Monthly Meeting
Lan Brady will be our demonstrator this month.
In Lan’s words;
If your project needs a little something extra around the rim, but you have exhausted the creativity of your texturing tools. Let’s take the next step of creating a colorful decorative pin stripe on the rim.
We will learn simple methods for adding calcite crystals in the rim, and how to make it any color of your choosing.
As time allows, we may add a decorative flower to our project. The demo will open doors you never thought of before.
If you can’t attend in person, here is the Zoom information;
