Woodworkers, especially turners, often use the chainsaw to size wood they want to use. Learning to use the chainsaw will be the topic of the August 11th demo by Greg Potter. He will talk and demonstrate how to take a raw log piece and mill it with a chainsaw for turning. He will talk about chainsaw safety, injuries, PPE, and general strategies for staying alive while also getting the wood cut.
This session will be held via Zoom. All members and guests are welcome to join in this session. If you are not a member, send a note to woodcny@gmail.com to request the invite.
Following Greg's demonstration, there will be plenty of time for Show & Tell. Also, to allow more time for members to catch up, we will open the meeting up no later than 6pm.
