There will be 30 world class demonstrators putting on 150 rotations in eleven demonstration rooms,

There will be a room where Bonnie Klein and Nick Cook will teach hands on classes to young people ages 10 through 17. The youth can register FREE when accompanied by a fully registered adult. As we did last year, we will give away 25 JET Midi lathes with stands, 25 sets of Crown tools, 25 Nova Midi-chucks and 25 face shields to 25 of the lucky youths. (Bring your kids or grandkids)

See the world’s largest instant gallery of over a thousand spectacular pieces. Visit the Trade Show filled with the world's largest assortment of woodturning tools, equipment, wood, etc.

There will be three panel discussions featuring world famous artists J. Paul Fennell, Binh Pho, David Ellsworth, Graeme Priddle, Curt Theobald, Clay Foster, Albert LeCoff, Kevin Wallace and Giles Gilson.

We will have a great banquet and live auction. There are three great woodturning exhibitions within blocks of the symposium. Louisville has more to do than we can list here. I visited this last weekend and loved it.
