Turn-Fest 2012
Well another Turn-Fest has come and gone here on the Gold Coast Queensland organised by David Drescher of http://www.woodworkingsuppliesqld.com.au/. It was great to catch up with heaps and heaps of other turners and demonstrators from around the world. This one was the TurnFest Masters and the biggest event of its kind, I think 570 was the final count , to celebrate the 10 year anniversary.
Here's some photos of the attendees' display pieces:Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

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.

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..
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Light Gauge Turning
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

hi neil,
it was great to catch up with all the people at turnfest ,
it was the first time i had attended the event and must say i
was very impressed,i am sure many of the forumites were
also there and it would have been good to put a face to
the names on here !maybe we could have get together
next time, after the day is done, maybe at the bar
that canadian guy was amazing,i also thought jimmy clewes
was one of the stars of the show,terry scott from nz was also
very good,included just a few photos from turnfest 2012
