Association of Turners Symposium Welcome to the 29th edition of the SWAT Symposium. After a one-year hiatus due to the global pandemic, we are excited to be back in Waco. On behalf of the Board of Directors, our member clubs, the Executive Committee, the Committee Chairs, and the many volunteers who have worked so hard to make this the best woodturning show in the world, I would like to thank you for your support. I hope you find this to be a great gathering of your fellow woodturners for fun, education, and camaraderie. Our many vendors will have everything you need for your craft, from lathes and accessories to tools, wood, casting, stabilizing and embellishment supplies, along with sanding, sharpening, and safety equipment. If you are new to woodturning, our hands-on areas will help you to learn the basics of pen turning, bowl turning, and other skills. Our Three-for-One Drawing is back this year, with your first opportunity to win on Friday morning at the Opening Ceremony. We will be raffling a Jet midi-lathe and an Arrowmont scholarship. Our banquet on Saturday evening will present the second chance for you to win. We will have a number of beautiful art pieces (approximately 30) as prizes. Then on Sunday, at lunch, our third and largest drawing will be held. This will be for an opportunity to win tools, wood and turning accessories donated by our vendors, as well as more art, another Arrowmont scholarship, and yes, three more lathes. The tickets from each drawing are returned to the bin after each drawing,
