WNY WOODTURNERS II
Meetings 7:30 PM; Second Thursday
The President’s Corner by Kurt
Hertzog
It’s time to get our new
season kicked off. We’re meeting back in our regular location at the
We had a great Erie County
Fair fundraiser. Thanks to all of the folks who turned items for the fair, the
many who worked at the event (along with family and friends), and to the event
co-chairs, Steve Imerese, Bob Ball, Al Schultz, and
Rich Mialki. The event raised
over $7700 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western NY. Since we started
keeping count in 1999, we’ve raised close to $44,000 for the charity. Thanks to
everyone for a stellar effort.
We’ll have nominations for
officers this month with elections to be held next month. We’ve got a candidate
for every office except treasurer and webmaster. Please consider “volunteering”
to run for office. The tasks aren’t difficult and the chance to give back a bit
to the club is a very rewarding experience.
This month’s demo will be
tips and tricks to sanding. Believe it or not, there is more to sandpaper than
grit size and making a lot of dust. If you get a chance to attend, I’m sure
you’ll enjoy it.
Thanks,
Kurt
ANNOUCENMENTS
I didn’t make it to the meeting at Jed’s so there isn’t much to report
this month.
A
reminder to everyone, that our meetings will be back

It seems that we have a Jim Hilburger twin in
our club. Gary Jones was mistaken for Jim numerous times at the fair this year.
This is good for Jim. He doesn’t have to spend as much time there and still
gets the recognition.

I heard Jed turned a
beautiful bowl for the demo. I’m sorry I missed it.
Here’s one I found in Popular
Woodworking magazine. For those of us that wishes our entire shop floor was
covered in a fatigue mat. Cut a piece of fatigue mat to fit the bottom of the
shoes you wear in the shop all the time and glue it onto the bottom of the
shoes with spray adhesive or contact cement. With shoes like these the whole
floor is a fatigue mat. I’m going to give it a try.
