As in years past, the WNYWoodturners were invited to the Fisher Price Toy Museum to do a turning demo |
There are a variety of turned items that are sold for the benefit of charitable organizations |
This year Barb Berger and Jim Hilburger did the honors with Barb tending the sales ... |
and Jim turning and entertaining the museum visitors |

Of course Santa and the elves were also at the museum |
Jim turns, decorates, and colors a top in less than 2 minutes |
It is a thrill for the old and the young alike to watch Jim |
Even Santa is amazed at the show of woodturning prowess |

Jim shows Santa how he paints the tops |
The area set aside for the demo is right outside the gift shop |
While Santa works the crowd as they pass through ... |
Jim does the same |

It's quite a show with Jim entertaining the youngsters with his turning and interaction with the crowd |
Jim takes a moment to explain the workings of a "snapper" |
This year, the turning demo was only for one day on Saturday, December 4th |
Regardless, the demo was a big success for the visitors and the charity |
