This is the last entry for July 2010
Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 14:43 This month has just shot right by. I’ve spent a lot of time in the shop and also at the Yarmouth Clam Festival, working in the “Herbie” Booth. It was a blast. Almost 100% of the items for sale in the “Herbie” both that had been made by turners was sold, contributing a good deal of money to the Yarmouth Tree trust.
Last week I went back to the Wood Turning School in Damariscotta, ME for their first annual Turnaround. A great time was had by all, with demonstrations, contests, good food, good company and a raffel of great woodturning products.
Today I went to my favorite Rockler Store to participate in the Patriot Pen Project where the goal was to produce 100 pens to be sent to men and women serving in the military overseas. I’m happy to say that I yurned 5 pens for the project. Rockler provided all of the materials to make the pens as well as the lathes to turn them. We had novices as well as seasoned turners turning out pens.
The high point of July for me was my appearence on “207” WCSH6’s Entertainment magazine. All in all a pretty great month.

Is it true that the Woodturning School is now closed? Sad to see them close because they are just one of the schools in the area that offered wide range of classes, from beginner to advanced and specialty classes. hand planes
