SIDEBAR INFORMATION

We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month @7:00 at:
1717 Washington Street,
Kansas City MO, 64108
Google MAP

MEETINGS and COVID-19:
The City of KCMO mask mandate for meetings is no longer in effect. You may still wear a mask if you like. We will also continue to Zoom the meeting to those members that don't feel comfortable at an in-person meeting or just can't attend the meeting in person. The Zoom details will be emailed to members the week before the meeting.

THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING:
September 14th Regular Meeting:

KC Woodturners President Kris Coyan and Board Member Anthony Harris will team up to do this month's demo. Kris will turn trees and flowers using a skew.  He will also demonstrate coloring and how to use alcohol to blend out the color.  Anthony will demonstrate how he makes some really nice tree ornaments, just in time for Christmas.

To view a photo of skewed trees and flowers: Click Here.

The September 14th Woodturning Challenge was chosen by Craig Arnold at his finish demo. The Challenge is to show off a nicely finished or colored woodturning.  One of the Challenge entrants will be randomly chosen to win a nice prize, probably three Craft Supplies gift cards.

RENEWED 2026 Members: Your new 2026 KCWT Membership Cards will be located in the metal cardfile box in the Clubhouse Lobby window. Pick yours up anytime the clubhouse is open (see the Guild open shop schedule).

NEW 2026 Members: Your new KCWT Name Badges and Membership Cards will be stored on the KC Woodturners badge rack inside the front door to the right of the clubhouse main entrance door.

Current KCWT membership cards give members 10% discount on non-electrical items at Woodcraft, Schutte Lumber, Metro Hardwoods, Rockler, Penn State, and Klingspor. This 10% discount is an enormous member benefit. Many members use this benefit to pay for their dues many times over. Metro Hardwood used to provide a member discount but new management has withdrawn this club support.

FUTURE MEETING DEMOS:
October 12th Regular Meeting:

KC Woodturners member Paul Goetzman will demonstrate how he turns his coffee tumbler sleeves.

OPEN TURNING:
Open Turning in our lathe room is scheduled for Wednesday (except 3rd Wednesday) and Thursday evenings 6:00pm to 9:00pm and on Saturday mornings 8:30am-noon. All eight lathes are available for use. You can always drop by and talk about a project. Coffee is free and so is the advice.

FUTURE EVENTS:

September 4th thru 6th - KC Irish Fest - Art in the Park (Fri, Sat, Sun) This is the biggest sales event of the year for your club. We need volunteers to help sell our woodturnings - get in Free. You can sell your own woodturnings during this event.

September 12th - Lenexa Spinach Festival 9:00am-4:00pm (Sat). This is a very fun event and is more family oriented than Irish Fest. Your club will have a tent to sell woodturnings during the festival.

December 14th - Annual Holiday Party 7:00pm-9:00pm (Mon). Free event for members and families. The club provides great sandwich meat and bread and the usual fixins. Members bring salads or desserts to share. Look at last year's party photos. We have member awards and a woodturned gift exchange (participation optional). Everybody will have a great time.
