FREE APP for Woodturners!!!
« on: June 29, 2013, 08:44:06 PM »
Hello all,

A US turner, Gene Calvano has created a very useful App for woodturners and is making it available free of charge.

The details are in the attached PDF file.

At present it is only available for ipad/iphone but will have a windows/MAC version soon

You need to download a free file maker program from ITunes to support the app, but I've downloaded it and installed and it's fine.

Now go and enjoy! And please remember this was made free by the generosity of one individual, so if you find it useful and email to him might be nice...

Andy

Hi Andy,
             thanks for posting this, not much use to me I'm afraid as I am technologically stunted  :-\ but I am sure some of our members can make use of it.
Regards

I had a look at that but on the bottom of the about turnings page it says  * = No direct capture in desktop versions. Insert file option only.

So I assume it is only so you can view the files you input on the i*

Hi all, just seen this in the apps PDF file.

"Capture and Store Videos of student skills or at symposium sessions"

Just be careful at symposia or seminars as some demonstrators do not like their presentations videoed.

It's a database for ideas, tools, techniques, student records, work etc.  etc. Brian. Saves all those notes that get lost or never written.
