Demonstrating for an audience is something that always gets Andy animated and enthused. He finds great satisfaction in educating with an infectious level of enthusiasm while shaping a piece of wood from behind a lathe. He has been a frequent demonstrator with the AAW as well as many regional symposia all around the continent. He even had the privilege of being invited to Australia a few years ago.
Andy has taken a brief sabbatical from classes locally, but hopes to get them going again in the near future. Stay tuned!
