"Unus bonum vertere dignus alium" "One good turn deserves another"
DelVal Turner's Regular Meeting
Tuesday April 8th, 2025
We will have a regular meeting at the
Moorestown Friends School Wood Shop
From Main street follow the driveway down to the lower parking lot. Park and follow the path indicated by the red line in the picture on the left to the entrance door.
We are looking forward to this Tuesday’s April 8th meeting and hope you will join us as Phillip Hauser will demonstrate how to make a lidded box.
For those offering HOW workshops, please let us know of any openings you have so we can effectively communicate them. Please bring a list of names/dates for those who have signed up for your sessions to Tuesday’s meeting so we can generate a master list.
Phil Hauser will also be hosting an Open House in his shop again. It will be held on the third Tuesday of the month. This happens to be the 15th of April, so after the pain of paying your taxes, enjoy a time of fellowship with other turners. His address is 71 Mount Laurel Road Hainesport NJ 08036. This is a great time to share information and problem solve together.
This Tuesday we will have an extended “Show and Tell”. Please bring your work to share and talk about. In addition, this month we are asking you to bring work you created during or subsequently to any HOW classes you attended.
In May, we are planning a video “Log to a bowl.” By Scott Wishart
We will take an interest poll at the meeting to consider a visit to the Rockler store in June.
We will hold a 50/50 for those present.
We look forward to seeing you this Tuesday, April 8th, at 7PM at the Moorestown Friends School Woodshop.
If you have not renewed your membership, we encourage you to do so at the meeting or online. At only $25.00, it is a bargain.
The club will meet at the Moorestown Friends School
Woodshop
110 East Main Street
Moorestown NJ 08057
All are welcome! Come check it out if you are interested in woodturning!
You should plan on arriving between 6:30-7:00 if possible. The School will typically lock
the doors at 7:00, so if you get locked out call one of the other members to open the door.
A 50/50 will be conducted at the meeting, but is not available online.

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.
MEMBERSHIP AND DUES:
Membership is open to all interested in woodturning. Annual dues are $ 25.00 per person. Dues are valid for the calendar year starting January 1st. Dues for the half year of July to December are $12.50 per person.
