Ron Fleming: Legendary Woodturner

In 2017 the American Association of Woodturners awarded Ron Fleming the Merit Award for his contributions to woodturning. I was honored to create this video for his induction ceremony. Ron was the person who inspired me to start turning and throughout the years has become a great friend and mentor. We are sharing this video so more people can learn of incredible artistry and career.

Great tribute Tim, thanks, much appreciated, much deserved, great inspiration.

[@kengunnell6398]

Exceptional narration! Gave me chills as well. Makes me want to stretch my abilities!

[@Bawdsey64]

Thank you, Tim, for sharing this video so that those of us outside the USA can see and appreciate a fantastic artist. Cheers Roger

[@piermicheleservi5025]

Wow, I hope this is, just the first, of a long series. I've really enjoyed. Thanks.

[@robertblitch4702]

Definitely an amazing artist

[@trinu40]

Great video. Would love to see more tribute videos like this from you. Also, props to you for putting together a seven minute piece that covered enough ground to highlight Fleming's gifts and contributions and send a lot of us to Google to find out more, when I'm sure it would have been far easier to put together a 45 minute documentary. Being both concise and thorough is a gift.

Thanks Tim for your homage to Ron and his amazing artist vision.

[@walshjp17]

Outstanding video, Tim. Thanks for bringing Ron to all of us.

[@JamesEdwards-og4rm]

That gave me the chills, thank you for sharing his story with us Tim. My son is getting into woodcraft with me and it makes me so happy. A story like this is inspiring and my son will love to see it as well. thank you for all you do Tim for the craft community, not just turners, but you shine a light on all of us.

Wow! Thank you for the profile. I really enjoyed that and would like to see some more. Nice "turn" out of the box!

[@glencrandall7051]

Wonderful history lesson Tim. Thank you and thank you Ron Fleming. I am ashamed to have to say that I lived through all those years and was turning but was unaware of Ron and his accomplishments.

[@terrencepowell270]

Thanks for sharing this with us. I am constantly looking for ideas for my turnings, but it is very nice to see what others are doing. Ron did things that were not the norm, but became things many of us would like to become.

[@JohnMiller-pu2qx]

Tim... that was truly such a wonderful tribute to Ron, and also a superb narrative of a truly amazing artist who had such an insight and vision to think outside the box!!!... I have many of his articles and it was unheard of what he was producing so many years ago, just like Ellsworth, both of them had such insight of there craft. Thank you for a great video!!!👍 John Miller Custom Woodturnings
