Blackcountry Woodturners had their Saturday All-Day Members Workshop on April 29th 2023. It started at 10.00 and went on till 16.00, this is an event that is popular with members and takes place at least once a year.
The project for the day was to turn a set of nine oak Skittles
The workshop day was well attended by the committee and had a steady member base drop in during the day with most being in attendance all day.
Members’ workshop days and evenings will be ongoing events in the coming years for the members to get hands-on with the club lathes.
We had three lathes on the go during the day, which were used to good effect, each lathe was looked after by a “lathe master” (an experienced club member) giving guidance to members turning the Skittles.
Though out the day members were able to help themselves to tea and coffee with biscuits, cake and savoury items provided for everyone
Robert kindly brought along one of his 3D printers to demonstrate to members that were interested. He was kept busy most of the day with questions and demonstrations.
These are some interesting infrared Videos, thanks to Chris Clay.

This was a brilliant day for hands on practice and skill sharing, highly recommend this to all those interested in the hobby. This group is welcoming and sociable
Thank you for another good day. Wood turning and social skills in great abundance all makes for a great day.
I would personally like to thank The Cockney Kid for his undying endeavours to keep us entertained, well done Greg……..Not. But thanks anyway!
