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 March

​At the February meeting, Bruce Kruse demonstrated  the use of the skew chisel, and how it can be one of the more useful tools in your arsenal.  The project of the month for the March 12 meeting is a slender turning using just the skew.  No sanding or finish is allowed; we just want to see the results straight off the tool.

March 12 Demo

The demo for our next meeting is offset turning, which is spindle turning on multiple axes.  A good chance to stretch yourself.
