Dave, cool! You might want to see if you can put up a poster at your local woodworking store(s). I am very surprised, and somewhat disappointed, at how few of the club members I know who actually frequent this forum. That may not be the case in your neighborhood, of course.
That is a good idea except the closest store is about an hour away
[Snip] ...Illiana Woodturners with a full workshop and members in the shop two times per week for mentoring. Google them for times and places
Yes it is great but also comes with commitment. We have a 3520, the Big Jets and an assortment of others. 3 bandsaws, table saw, drill press and other tools. There are chucks and tools to use if needed. Kicker is the club dues are $50 a year!Wow, that is very cool! Have to talk to our prez and see if we could do something similar (probably not quite as often though).
To have access to that machinery and a shop for $50.00 a year sounds very reasonable.

It must be a big club, especially to have enough mentors who are willing to commit to staffing on such a regular basis. I'm impressed!
