Meet the Maker Night at make717

Angelo Iafrate

After attending several weeklong classes at the Brookfield Craft Center, Brookfield, CT woodturning took over my meager garage shop space as the primary craft.

Throughout the 90’s many utilitarian bowls and other practical items were made, 

demonstrated and sold at various craft shows and other venues.

Having had that turning experience I began to teach woodturning in my native New England. Then in 2003 an offer to serve on the Board of Directors of the American Association of Woodturners (an organization of approximately 16,000 woodturners) took center stage.

Early in my tenure on the Board my focus was as the Chair of the Symposium Committee. As committee chair it was my responsibility to oversee the Annual Symposium for approximately 2,000 woodturners. Later, I took over the Presidency of the Board of Directors of the AAW for the ailing Phil Brennion. By 2008 my tenure as President was over.

Now, I teach woodturning occasionally for the local chapters of the AAW (the Lancaster Area Woodturners) and now at Make 717.


For the Meet the Makers demonstration:

Both found and commercial wood blanks will be used to turn several small bowls. At first we will walk-talk through the use of the tools and the process of how to use them. Then, if time allows, a small bowl will be turned without commentary. Questions can be asked freely. With assistance, attendees are welcome to give the tools a test drive.
