Duey Marthaller presented an excellent demonstration on making Kaleidoscopes.   He showed the various styles and explained how they worked and were assembled.  He demonstrated the turning process to insure a smooth operating Kaleidoscope.  Duey has developed a way to make the brass bushings and rings inside of the Kaleidoscope to make them easier to assemble and rotate the eye piece.  He explained the process of making the bushings from brass tubing.  The members were able to test the various samples Duey brought to the demonstration.
