Thought I'd throw out a few questions to those of you with vast experience in the spiny world of turning
Coming up in October, HOW (Hillsborough Orange Woodworkers) will embark upon its most ambitious endeavor to date.
Second only to my failed plan to build a 60 foot tall Queen Anne Lowboy in one hour.....
My question to the collective mind that is NCWW, how could we manage 10 people (or more) with two lathes.
We'll have access to at least one full sized and one midi lathe. We also have access to multiple shops.
The plan is to do basic spindle work resulting in a turned mallet. Possibly also taking on an intro to bowls.
I'm asking for any ideas.
From buying 10 lathes to setting up a "Take A Number" machine.
Maybe we split up and some do sharpening while others turn?
For those who attend group turnings, what are some of the things you've seen around organization?
Thanks!
Jim
