Scott LeCocq came from Colorado with lovely pieces of laminated western red cedar and taught the class to carve out 3 sets of blades.
Below Kathryn and Jerry mark out the trailing edge lines.


Mia and Chris start to kerf a blade.


I can't keep my hands off a drawknife.


Skye and Mia go in tandem.


Craig lovingly checks one of his ten-footer's blades.  Craig took this turbine home.


Michael and Scott balancing the big blade assembly on a spike.



They found some anodes off outboard motors.  The future owner Rory will re-balance after painting and before final installation.


Here is the spike and pivot plate under the blades.
