Guild Talent at April 2012 Meeting

April Demonstrator

Thanks to the folks from Stick-Fast for demonstrating their proprietary, easy to accomplish CA finishing system. Also thanks for the free medical-grade wound repair CA that was provided to everyone. I trust there wasn’t a negative implication there… just kidding! Also a special thanks to all the participants of the talent pool. Bring in your stuff and share it with the world!

Guild Talent at February 2012 Meeting

What’s all this chatter about chatter? Thanks to our demonstrator for this month – Jim Talley. In addition to the chatter embellishment, his demonstration of off-axis turning without expensive chucks was enlightening.

Guild Talent at January 2012 Meeting

Many thanks to our January Demonstrator Nick Cook. He shared with us the makings of 3 & 4 legged stools in a weekend. That’s for most of us…Nick completed one in an hour and a half demo!

Guild Talent at November Meeting

This month we had Peggy Schmid as our featured demonstrator. Thank you for sharing with us a new method of creating heirloom ornaments for the Christmas season in a completely new way. Now we can make scrambled eggs and without destroying the shell create something beautiful and timeless for the tree. Thanks to all who make this club as excellent as it is. Thanks to the board members, the demonstration organizers, the club members (without whose dues and participation there would be no club) and Steve Quell and the staff of Woodcraft for allowing us to meet in their sandbox and play with their toys (we love the meeting discount too!). This month I wish to issue apologies to Jim Kelson: due to camera issues I don’t have the photos of your work. If you would bring them in for the December meeting, I will reshoot them and include them.
