Announcements
President Hudson thanked John O’Neil for serving as
Vice President. He in return thanked the members who did demonstrations, for
dong them for the club during his term. He reminded everyone that each of us
has something to offer in our turning experiences. So don’t be bashful when
asked to share your experiences and skill with the rest of us.
Librarian, Paul Boland reported that all but 3 tapes
have been copied to the DVD format.
Vice President, Ron Ellis announced that Ron Hudson
will be doing the demo in January. He will share how to turn bracelets.
It was mentioned by Ann Raby that if you are going
to the AAW Symposium get your reservations in soon. Hotel space near the event
is going fast.
The club received a $25 gift certificate from
Woodcraft. Bob Wiesdel made a motion, and it was seconded by Jake Debski, to
sell raffle ticket for the price of $1.00 and raffle it off with all proceeds
to go to the club. It was carried. The winner: Jake Debski
Dues are due by February meeting.
Please take note of the change in the day of this month’s meeting.
It is Wednesday not Thursday.
Old Business
President
Hudson reminded all members that he received a message form the AAW concerning
insurance that covers the members. You have to be a member of the AAW in order
to be covered by the AAW insurance when you are turning for a demo.
A
reminder that Craft Supply’s “Turning for the Troops” is an on going program.
So if you want to turn pens for the troops, visit the store and express an
interest and they will supply the materials.
New Business
Rich Mialki
informed the membership that he has a deal with Harbor Freight for screw driver
and pull out telescopic magnets. He can get them at a reduced cost. See Rich if
you are interested in turning these items for the fair and Make-A-Wish.
Rich also
informed the membership about a program that Uno’s Chicago Grills has to raise
money for a charity of your choice. They give coupon to organizations that eat
at their establishment. They offer a 15% - 20% kick back of the total bill. The
Club 1 is setting a date for members and their families to meet at the
restaurant, for those who want to participate in this event, to raise money for
Make-A-Wish.

Thomas Thank You to Jim. He donated it back to the club.

Pat
Delmonte gave an excellent demonstration on the making of a bird’s mouth bowl.
His comfort, technique and expertise in turning bowls were evident throughout
the demo. He also demonstrated the use of his new goose neck scraper. Even
though it was a new tool to him, he made it look easy. Thank You Pat for a
great show.
ELMER’S CORNER: Tip-top Tip for
Keeping Glue Tips cleaner
Found in
Feb 2010 issue of Woodworker’s Journal.
Until this
was discovers by the writer, she used to get frustrated cleaning off the
nozzles of her CA glue bottles with a pliers or worse having to replace the
nozzles. I think we have all been there.
Here’s the
solution: wipe a thin film of petroleum jelly all around the nozzle before
replacing the cap. The glue won’t stick to the jelly. Now the tips are clear
whenever the glue is needed.
Respectfully
