There were two beginners bowl classes at Barb's Barn on Friday and Saturday, March 18th and 19th |
Jim Vasi was the instructor for both classes |
The sessions were open to members of the four area turning clubs |
After the lecture and demonstration of the safety, work mounting, and cutting techniques, it's a hands on session |

With the lathes at the Barn, the club's lathes, and some people bringing their own, everyone has a lathe to work on |
