reminded members that they should bring at
least 1 turned item for the spousal raffle and
explained how the raffle works for the new
members. He then reminded members to
bring their raffle turning, a covered dish for
the meal and their Guy Waldo Challenge
pieces if they entered the challenge. Phil
also reminded members there would be a
donation jar at the picnic with proceeds to be
used for offsetting the meat charge for the
picnic.
Show & Tell had 13 participants. Greg
I hope everyone enjoyed the picnic! It was
nice to see all the wives out for the raffle and
to eat some of that wonderful food! Lots of
good eats, unfortunately it goes on my waist
line!
Last month our Demo was How to turn a
Hollow Form and make everyone think you are
GREAT! I hope members have had more of a
chance to turn a hollow form for the challenge
than I have. This next week will be full of
turning, if I am going to catch up.
I have spent the last week in San Antonio, TX
doing some work related training. The pictureis one of several
tree trunks in the Training
Center.
I lucked into a schedule that allowed me to
go up to Kerrville, TX on Thursday evening
and attend the Hill Country Woodturners
Chapter Meeting. They had above 50 members
in attendance and some guests. Great Show N
Tell. Good Demo! Nice group! Certainly
better than one more night in the motel room.
Our Demo for November will be Freehand
Turning a sphere! I have attended several
demos over the years on turning spheres. We
do spheres for Christmas Ornaments, toys, and
other projects. The sphere shape can be used
when you turn a scoop, or a bowl, a box, and
other common turning projects. No need for
fancy shop made chucks, expensive sphere
turning jigs or other stuff. A couple of pieces of
wood turned to assist and your work piece.
Nothing fancy! Just a bowl gouge, a spindle
roughing gouge, a parting tool and a scraper.
I look forward to seeing all of you Saturday, with
a longer report on the Hill Country Texas
Woodturners Club Meeting.
John Nicholas
Next months meeting will be December 15,
