October 2019 Finger Lakes Woodturners Meeting

October 2019 Finger Lakes Woodturners Meeting

The next FLWT meeting will be October 24th when Scott Grove will be our next national demonstrator. NOTE: This meeting is being held on the FOURTH Thursday of October to accommodate some scheduling issues, rather than our normal 3rd Thursday meeting date.

The program for the Thursday meeting session will include a review of Scott’s personal history, which includes the time he was the Shop Manager for Wendell Castle at RIT. For folks who might not know Wendell Castle, he is often described as one of the most important post war furniture designers. Scott will also discuss and demonstrate his approach to mold making and resin casting. He will demonstrate these techniques by using a burl and a pine cone.

Saturday Oct 26 Scott will present an all day demonstration at Isaac Heating and Cooling, and you can register for this event online. Sunday Oct 27 there is an all day hands on workshop at Scott’s workshop near Canandaigua and you can read more about the Saturday and Sunday events, and register online.

We will begin the meeting as usual by gathering between 5:30 and 6 pm for setting up the room, followed at 6 pm by Show and Share, and general discussions and interactions, and a brief business/info session. The demonstration should begin between 6:30 and 6:45.
