The Dark Side was strong in Richmond this weekend

The AAW symposium in Richmond was great. My son and I had fun seeing all the presentations. He got to participate in the Youth Turning and had 2 classes with Bonnie Klein and 1 with Joe Ruminski. All the kids that participated in the program got their names in a hat for the 25 lathes and tools that were donated by the manufacturers. My son's name got picked! We came home with a 3 day old Jet 1014I, stand, Crown tools, Nova Chuck, faceshield, etc. Then on top of that I won a $100 worth of wood from Florida Exotic Woods!

Overall a very good weekend.

So, is your son the better equipped turner in the family now?

Congrats on winning all that gear, oh and your wood too.

Re: The Dark Side was strong in Richmond this weekend

The Crown tools he has now are much better than my Harbor Freight set but my Powermatic 3520 still trumps his Jet. But over all not bad for an 8 year old.

Wow that was a great weekend. Not just the huge win-fall but spending time with Dad doing something really cool.
