we use a certain tool or a certain technique or holiday theme or what? you guys tell me.
As of this time I am now teaching vets again. If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet.. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

boy am I good.
I am thinking turning with a twist like an off center bowl or box using a skew only?

It has been a long time since we did a challenge. It sounds like a good idea.
I will second the idea of doing an off-axis turning as the first challenge. Restricting it to skew-only might be too dangerous if we want to include off-center bowls.
As a different challenge for the fall, I would suggest making a kaleidoscope. WaltQ was a collector of kaleidoscopes and making some for his birth month would be a good way to remember him (IMHO).

Yah no skew. Since I am short on funds the kaleidoscope is out for me anyway. A bowl or box or icecicle or anything would be find for me.
I do miss Walt too.
