Change of Date – February 23, 2023 – Monthly Meeting with Larry Lobel

The February monthly meeting  has been changed to Thursday Feb 23, and it will be an In-person Demonstration with our very own Larry Lobel, at St. Michael's Woodshop with remote viewing via Zoom.  Doors and Zoom will open at 6:45 pm for informal discussions, and the meeting will begin at 7:15.

Folks attending at St Michael's Woodshop should plan to arrive no earlier than 6:45, to insure that the student program has finished for the day.  Zoom information will be emailed to current FLWT members a few days in advance of the meeting for members who are not able to meet in person.

Larry Lobel’s interest in woodturning started in 7th grade woodshop.  “I was hooked at first turn. Of course we used spindle tools to turn bowls, no one knew better. And without the internet books like Creative Woodturning by Dale Nish were the way we learned”.

Fast forward 50 years later and Larry still loves learning new woodturning techniques and enjoys a variety of projects.  Larry says “Best part of woodturning for me now are the friends I’ve made and the willingness of everyone to share”.

Aside from turning in his home shop, Larry volunteers multiple times a week to work with the students in the after school program at St. Michael’s wood shop, a FLWT Mentor, and is the Vice President of FLWT.

Larry will be demonstrating his take on a three legged stool.  He has a few scattered about the shop for when folks come to visit.
