News ItemsManawatu Guild have now published their website:www.turningwood.co.nzThe Manawatu Open Day at Palmerston NorthThis was a well attended, popular and successful event. Part of the proceedings included a Lathe Competition involving eight Clubs/Guilds. The teams consisted of 6 members each. The morning task by 3 members of each team was to take a cube, turn it to a ball of specific dimensions ending with 3 balls of equal dimension. The afternoon team of 3 members had to take a ball each and convert it back to a cube of specific dimension and number each face with the numbers 1 to 6 with adjacent faces adding up to 7. Not an easy project. But!!!!!! Our two Wellington Guilds: The Kapiti Guild and The Guild of Woodworkers Wellington shared equal first for the Trophy. A great effort. |
