Thread: Turn-Fest 2012

Some more

Here a group shot of the demonstrators, David accepting an award from the demonstrators, and a rare shot of David actually turning , and a shot of the sunset one night over the Broadwater (not bad for my little pocket autiomatic camera)

Hope others will also post photos in this thread

Actually, it was at one of the many "night activities" called "turning to destruction", he was part of a 4 man act to destroy blanks. Let's just say they did a good job

On the first night, we got to see the dolphins show of SeaWorld

Hey hang on, did this event happen without , as I know he was here in Victoria as I was speaking to him face to face today at Wandin

Hello Acco,
As said to me at last years Nannawading exhibition when asked if he was displaying any items in the show, "as they do not have any forklifts here there is no point me coming here displaying my stuff". And that might be the reason why he did not go the Gold Coast.

Thanks for posting the photos. I certainly would enjoy more photos or details about the event.
Cheers
Willy

Always getting my head cut off in group pics ..
I believe I met some of the best wood turners in the world at this gig...
I've decided that they're all rather short..(under 6 foot 6)
and not many know how to swim in gold coast storm surf..particularly those from midwest U.S...
Great fun, good times ,lots learned..

Many thanks for sharing your photos Neil.

Brian McEvoy from Canada gave a great demo at Turnfest on his take of deep hollowing using a small car globe attached to the big bar tool. He could have used the vase as a stop light!
Turnfest should be great next year featuring Malcolm Zander, Jerome Blanc, Michael Hosaluk, Trent Bosch, Glenn Lucas and others.
Well done David!https://www.woodworkforums.com/attach...1&d=1333351678
