The Corridor Woodturners 

​of the Cedar Rapids / Marion Iowa metro area

is a local Chapter of the

American Association of Woodturners (​AAW).​

Corridor Woodturners meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month, starting at 6:30 PM, usually lasting about two hours.  We start with some announcements, buying raffle tickets, photographing your show-and-tell item (check out the galleries, above), then a demonstration of the topic of the month.  After a short break, we ask each person to discuss their show-and-tell item, marvel over the project-of-the-month items, and pick the raffle winners.  Guests are always welcome! 
Meetings are held at the Marion High School wood shop.
         (Maps to the high school are here and here.)

Project of the Month for November 13

The Project of the Month for the November meeting

will be a clamshell box, as demonstrated by Rich

Nye at the October

meeting.  A clamshell box

is a low-profile box with

a tight-fitting lid, suitable

for carrying in a pants

pocket.  Using the tips

from Rich, the two halves

should snap together

smartly.
