About NMWT

New Mexico Wood Turners, located in Albuquerque, has over 100 members from the Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and around central New Mexico.  We meet the first Saturday of each month and welcome anyone with an interest in wood turning, from beginner to professional.
Meetings feature presentations on turning techniques, wood selection, tools and safety. Special topics have included vacuum chucks, holiday ornaments, and other unique subjects.  Every meeting includes an informal “Instant Gallery” of member work which you can see in our galleries section.
We bring in nationally known guest presenters several times each year, and the club sponsors numerous special events and projects.   A popular event is the woodturning exhibition at the New Mexico State Fair, “Expo New Mexico”  held every September. Activities include woodturning exhibitions, live demonstratons, and videos on a range of turning topics

President’s Turn

Moving onto 2025 With New Shavings

New Mexico Woodturners,
 
Hard to believe this is my last note to you as President of NMWT.  It seems both like forever and that the time flew by!!  I have been honored to serve NMWT as an officer for the past several years.  There has been some work, but I think together we (that’s all of you and your hard working board) have done some really good things for NMWT.  We are now a part of Albuquerque Fiber Arts, we’ve had another awesome airport display and the State Fair is back on track after Covid among many other things.  None of this happens without your support, you volunteering to help at these events, setting up, demonstrating and giving a bit of your time and skill.
 
You didn’t get lucky enough to get rid of me, you’ll still see Traci and I working your newsletter and me sitting behind the laptop at club meetings.  One regret for all my time as President is that I didn’t get to know more of you better.  There was so much to do at each club meeting, I’m hoping more of you will lend a hand so that Mark our new President will be free to mingle and talk to you during meeting setup time.  Mark is going to be great leading us into the future!
 
Be ready to bring your ideas for demos in 2025 and of course our annual gift exchange.  There are going to be so many different items from wood, to tools to who knows.  See you on December 7th.
 
NMWT appreciates you and again I thank you for allowing me to serve NMWT!
 
Tom Durgin
NMWT President
 
Want to be more active in NMWT, let us know.  We want you to play a part in what this club does, who this club reaches and advancing turners from every skill level.  Lend a hand, you won’t be sorry.
 

Tom Durgin

NMWT President

Annual Planning and Gift Exchange 7 Dec

The 2025 demo planning and highly anticipated NMWT gift exchange is next on our schedule, yup that’s our December meeting!

There are some important things for you to know: no zoom, no instant gallery, no raffle

First we attack planning for 2025, your chance to help us plan the most desired demos for next year.

You bring an unwrapped gift and get a ticket.  All the tickets go in the bucket and around the room we go until all the gifts have been claimed, we normally go around 2, 3 or more times.  You can bring 1, 2 or more gifts, it is all up to you!

Some of you will purchase a gift for the exchange and that’s great.  Some of you will bring a tool you haven’t used, a tool you don’t use, something you want to pass along to your fellow turners. We will also have wood, a real good bunch of wood.    

See  you at the New Mexico Woodturners meeting 7 Dec, meeting starts at 10.  North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center
