9 October |
Demo & Elston Sawmill |
Unfortunately Bill is unable to join us and John Berkeley had kindly stepped in at short notice. John is well known for his thread chasing and devilishly difficult to open little puzzle boxes - should be a good night. Bill Jones - the doyen of woodturning in the UK. Well into his 80s now Bill is third generation craftsman and trade-turner - you may have seen his articles in Woodturning Magazine. He is fantastic and it is a real coup for us to get him to come up from Essex. |
