2019 Feb 9th 9:00am	Saturday Meeting	Ring Holders Learn and Turn hosted by Wally Cook at Opdahl Farm in Hurley NY. We will be doing a hands-on learn and turn -- two people to a lathe -- and will learn how to make a ring holder. This is a fun and easy project. we have been asked to make 50 of these pieces for the annual dinner as favors to pass out. If each of us make on for yourself and two others, we will have no trouble fulfilling this request. You will leave the learn and turn with at least one ring holder and the ability to make more. In addition, we will hold a bit of a contest to determine the top three ring holders at the March meeting! The maker of the best ring holder will receive a prize.
