Highland Woodturners Club (Scottish Charity SC053651)

Start time 6.45pm

Our meeting this week, Thursday 17th February 2022 is a demonstration by John Ruickbie. John is going to be making a square bowl on the lathe, he will also do some decorative work on the bowl with the use of a fret saw. John had demonstrated something similar a few years ago but as the membership keeps changing John felt it was time to do it again for the benefit of the many new members we have in the club.

Start time 6.45pm.

Our meeting this week Thursday 3rd February 2022 is our Annual General Meeting (AGM).

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM) is scheduled to take place on Thursday 3rd February 2022 in our premises in Munlochy at 6.45pm.

Our club meeting on Thursday 20th January 2022 was a demonstration by myself (Alec Mutch) on toy or puzzle making. I was to make a couple of items, the first being a child’s spinning top, the second being a little puzzle item. Both these items had been demonstrated at our club in the past but with new members joining every year I felt it was time to repeat some of the items that had been demonstrated before.

Start time 6.45pm

Our meeting this week Thursday 20th January 2022 is going to be a demonstration by Alec Mutch , wooden toys & puzzles are the themes for the meeting. We have done toys and puzzles before but there are so many different things that can be made using a lathe in the toy and puzzle line. Some of the toys might be better named as models, it all depends on the degree of accuracy that is put into an item.

Our meeting on Thursday 6th January 2022 was a demonstration by Douglas Stewart, Douglas was to make some pieces of wooden jewellery, the range of items that can be made from wood using a lathe is practically endless. Douglas started the meeting by showing a variety of different wooden jewellery pieces to the watching crowd before then deciding upon the items he was going to make, in this instance he chose a scarf clasp and pin and a bangle.

Start time of 6.45pm.

Our meeting this week on the 6th January 2022 is a demonstration by Douglas Stewart on making wooden jewellery, Douglas has demonstrated some examples of this type of woodturning before and it’s always interesting to see what he come up with.
