the click "turning time".

This ran on channel 45 news in Baltimore.

This was a Chesapeake Woodturners project
Alan Alexopul0s and Temple Blackwood (Bearded one)

The US Constellation is sort of a sister ship to the Constitution

It is permanently docked at the Baltimore inner Harbor.

Other AAW clubs have done community service projects to help restore ships, buildings, and even to commeprate a special event or tree.
It would be nice to capture a list of them.

happy turning,
Al

Very nice video! I got to meet Alan and see some of the belaying pins in production when I was down there in May. Temple was off traveling as well, so we did not get a chance to meet. Maybe next time...
