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

Fall is Turning Weather

Hey Turners,
 
Wow, we did it!  The fair has ended and it was pretty great.  We even got a special thanks from the fair people because of all the work we put in to make it great.  Thanks to Bill who led the charge and thanks to each and every one of you who were a part of the fair.  Your pieces were awesome, your demos at the fair awesome and the setup and clean up crew, awesome!  You all make me proud to be a part of NMWT.
 
We have just a few meetings left this year and then the club planning and gift exchange get together in December.  We have a few spots open and need your help.  Just to mention a few, Raffle, Member at Large and an officer position.  WE NEED YOU for this club to continue at the level it runs now.  Please consider taking on one of these spots.
 
I’m ready for Balloon Fiesta, hope you are also.  Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather out in your shop and making a huge pile of shavings.
 
NMWT appreciates you
 
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.

Programs

Sharpen Your Tools With Michael and Mark 5 Oct

At October’s meeting, Michael Mocho and Mark Miller will lead us in a sharpening clinic.  We will have multiple grinders available and hands on individual guidance will be the name of the game.

It is critical you bring your tools.  Now’s the time to get that grind right, get that edge dangerously sharp all while learning how to do it yourself at home.  

See  you at the New Mexico Woodturners meeting 5 Oct, meeting starts at 10.  North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center
