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 February

At the January meeting, we saw two demonstrations of Christmas ornaments.  Harold Rosauer showed us a snowman and Greg Ellyson took us through how he makes his Christmas trees.

The project of the month is both of these.  Bring a snowman and a Christmas tree to the February 12 meeting to show off what you learned.

Lose your fear of the skew

At the February 12 meeting, Bruce Kruse will demonstrate the use of the skew chisel, and how it can be one of the more useful tools in your arsenal.  He'll show what it can do better than other tools, and how to avoid the dreaded 'catch'.
