This was my first such experience and I have to say it was fantastic. It was very different from watching the majority of YT videos.
The commentary given by the demonstrators was really excellent, explaining their rationale and what was happening during the turning.
Definitely gave me the itch to try hollow forms!
 
I echo David's comments. It was my first symposium also. Excellent in every way. I am anxious to see the 8 sessions I did not attend and revisit the 4 great sessions I saw. I gave top marks on the survey I received. I am looking forward to future similar events. Well done, AAW. Thank you to all who worked hard to make it beneficial and a rewarding sharing of needed ideas.
 
Yes, I agree! Attended both virtual symposium's during Covid and they were great! Anything turning gets me excited!! BTW, is anyone here attending the Small Turning Expo in November?
