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.

Guild Talent At October Meeting

We wish to thank our featured demonstrator Chris Pouncy from Sorby Tools for his display of technique and the various tools his company makes. He has a distinctive british sense of humor providing a change of pace. Observing him and reflecting on the wide array of excellent talent we have had at our meetings, what struck me is the definition of a demonstrator. A demonstrator is a talented individual that presents in front of a crowd of people to show what we should not be doing while doing it themselves… Given that most of us do things that are questionable in their wisdom while plying our craft, the most important thing to take away from it all is the following: Never get too comfortable with working around power tools of any kind. STAY CONSCIOUS OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT ALL TIMES! Stay safe, my friends.
