This handout accompanied a class taught by Mike Peace and Steve Mellott.  The class was held 5-10-2014 and 5-17-2014.

This class is primarily to help members who have been conducting or would like to conduct woodworking demonstrations. Mike and Steve will show you how to plan and present a successful woodworking demonstration. They will cover how to pre-plan, develop, and deliver a successful demonstration including how to create an effective instructional handout. They will also cover the effective use of visual aids including effective use of the camera operator.
