Nor-Cal Woodturners upcoming events

Nor-Cal Monthly Meeting (June 23, 2026)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Each month on the 4th Tuesday at 6:30 pm we have a monthly meeting (except November and December). We have a demonstration on woodturning, "show and tell" where members share what they have been working on, and a "President's Challenge" where members make something special each month. There is also plenty of good company.

No need to sign up, just come to the Veterans Hall. Bring something you've turned to share with the group. You can also bring items to donate to the Raffle if you have something in your shop you don't need anymore.

Hope to see you there!

Member Workshop - Open Shop (July 07, 2026)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:30:00 GMT

Nor-Cal Woodturners has received approval to conduct member workshops at Palmiter School woodturning shop. These workshops are an opportunity to acquaint members with the school facilities and provide continuing education in basic woodturning skills for the members. Hopefully, after training, members will consider volunteering as coaches in the youth training program we have successfully conducted at the school for 12 years.

We need volunteer instructors. Please contact Jim Sanders

at yellingwolf@att.net if you can attend a class and share your knowledge.

The classes will be held on Wednesday evenings a week after the general membership meetings.

Nor-Cal Monthly Meeting - Spring Pole Lathe (July 28, 2026)

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 01:30:00 GMT

This month Marcel Vital will be talking about building a Spring Pole Lathe:

I would like to share my experience building and using a lathe based on descriptions and drawings from the late 1600s. The majority of the components being made from wood.

While trying to locate information on building a traditional Long Bow, I came across something called a Spring Pole Lathe. The idea was distracting enough that I had to make a file specifically for this project so I could get back to making the Bow.

As they say, the rest is history.

Marcel Vital

Hope to see you there!
