In my presentation, “My journey in woodworking and my search for precision,” I will trace my 60+ years of woodworking from my childhood helping to build our family home, to my production of precision pieces for sale and personal enjoyment. Ray Puffer has been an avid woodworker for more than 60 years, and he has produced a broad variety of pieces ranging from custom designed grandfather clocks and furniture, to antique reproductions, guitars and banjos, and award
winning artistic and functional turnings. His turnings have been featured in American Woodturner magazine. Ray is a
member of the Northeast Woodworkers Association, the Adirondack Woodturners Association, the Segmented
Woodturners Association, and the American Association of Woodturners. Ray is a frequent demonstrator at regional
woodturning clubs and international symposia, and he teaches woodturning to individuals in his home shop.
Ray is a Registered Professional Engineer. He served a career as an Army officer, followed by a second career teaching
engineering and leading industrial automation research programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.
He exhibits and sells his work in regional art galleries and shows. His work may be seen at: www.RP-Woodturner.com.
