Barb's Barn hosted a "Beginner's Day" to refine the skills of the newer turners |
The instructors were Jed Donahue, Paul Mazuchowski, and Rich Sarama |
Jed taught the tool sharpening section of the class |
With 5 students and 3 instructors, there was plenty of hands on time |

All of the projects were designed to reinforce the tool handling skills |
With only 5 students, there was plenty of one on one time with an instructor |
The day was a great practice session for all skill levels |
Following the "Hilburger Rule", everyone breaks for lunch |
