Back in March Lief Carlson gave a demonstration on how to make a teleidoscope to the Grand Valley Woodturning Club in Grand Junction, CO. He brought a few finished mirror assemblies with matching marbles as well as a little info sheet with a few basic supply resources should there be any interest. . He was hoping that by getting a nice finished scope their first few tries it would encourage them to look into making scopes more and it looks like they have, with the glitter wands as well! In club's monthly newsletter the teleidoscopes create are being feature! Looks like a few may have caught the kaleidoscope bug. Thank you Lief for sharing the art of Kaleidoscopes / Teleidoscopes. ... See MoreSee Less
