Demo

Vic Mitnick turns Gnomes

When Vic Mitnick joined a local makerspace in 2012, the wood lathe was one of the first pieces of equipment he learned, and he was hooked. Though he does other woodworking, most of his creative time is on the lathe.

He has learned a lot from other turners, both in person and online and has been teaching since 2016.

A retired software engineer,  he enjoys the analog nature of woodworking.  He mostly turns wood from local trees that have been cut down or trimmed, but especially loves discovering what's inside a piece of found wood as he shapes it.
