Woodturning Tour to Mooreton, March 13
Our Woodturning Field Trip to the Cinder Whit Turning Shop in Mooreton, ND was on Thursday, March 13.
Cindy Beck, the owner, has graciously helped arrange our visit.Directions: South on I-29 from Fargo about 45 miles, then head west about a mile on ND-13 W via exit number 23B, then turn north into
Mooreton, and the turning shop is the first building on the E side of the road, the former Mooreton school, with the main door facing the road. Dan Wendel, their shop foreman, will be our tour guide
and will show us their operation, including the large CNC controlled lathe that produces most of their interior and exterior spindles. It uses a large rotating circular sawblade to do most of the
cutting, with the capabilities of a router touching up the design. You can check out their business and products at http://www.cinderwhit.com/
We should be done there about 8:15. If you want, you can head directly home after that. But we have another option too. We can also visit the hangar where
Cindy's husband, Jerry Beck, is restoring a number of vintage aircraft. At 8:30 PM, Dan will lead us in a caravan to the Airplane restoration hangar/shop in Wahpeton, where Jerry Beck will meet us and
give us a tour. |
