This month's meeting will feature club members Tim Heil and Jeff Luedloff. Jeff and Tim will do a demo together about turning a wood tool handle. Jeff has turned almost 10,000 handles. Many of said handles are for Hunter Tools. Jeff is fast, efficient and makes beautiful functional handles.
Tim also makes handles and will show a variety of ways to make tool handles.
The demo will cover:
wood choices
finishing choices
fit and size of handles depending on their intended use
how to drill a hole using your lathe
