We would like to welcome you all to October 14, 2025 meeting at the Moorestown Friends School at 7 PM
We will share and look at the results of our Summer Challenge where we exchanged blanks at Rockler during our June meeting. We shall see the creative designs our
members have come up with.
We will conduct a “interest Survey” to help in planning our future HOW - Hands On Workshops.
There will be a Show and Tell, so please bring your latest turnings. This is always a well-received time of sharing.
We will hold a 50/50. This benefits the club and our offerings.
On October 21st, Phil Hauser will hold an open house in his shop. The focus that evening will be on “work holding devices”. You are encouraged to bring your favorite method/s or a question related to the topic.
His address is 71 Hainesport Mount Laurel Road, Hainesport, NJ 08036.Be sure to add the Hainesport if using GPS, otherwise you will likely wind up in the wrong place.

Looking ahead;
On November 11th we will have a live demonstration on turning a Pepper Mill. Please plan to bring a Holiday turning as a sample for others to use as an inspiration in their own Holiday turnings.
On December 9th we will hold our annual Holiday Dinner and Silent Auction.
January 13th will include a live demonstration of Ron Brown’s Best - bowl from a board system.

MEETINGS:
DelVal Turners meets either in-person at the Morestown Friends School or virtually using Zoom on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Meeting topics include show and tells, demonstrations, and discussions on various turning related subjects, such as tool sharpening, sanding, finishing, chucks, jigs, marketing your crafts etc. New members are encouraged to contribute new ideas to help create an interesting and challenging program. Our demonstrations are most often given by nationally and internationally renowned turners and artists.
MEETING TIME AND PLACE:
Our remote/Zoom meetings start at 6:30 PM with a social 30 minutes. The meeting starts at 7PM. We are planning for more face to face meetings to take place at the Morrestown Friends School.
OTHER EVENTS: Philip Hauser runs a great hands on open house at his workshop on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The open house is an informal setting where members discuss different issues such as tool use, tool sharpening, wood preparation, and turning techniques. Phil and other members often demonstrate these techniques. See Member's Area for Phil's contact information.
FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES:
A 50/50 raffle is conducted during most meetings to augment the club’s finances.
DEMONSTRATIONS:
The club invites some of the best woodturners in the world to demonstrate at our club meetings and via Zoom remote sessions. Woodturners freely share their skills with all, thus providing novice to expert turners with a wealth of information.
OTHER BENEFITS:
The club will often offer information about wood that has become available and tools for sale. We also inform members of different woodturning events in the area and upcoming symposiums.
