June 2013 Meeting Reminder
The monthly meeting of the Classic City Woodturners is on Monday, June 24, 2013 at 6 PM in the Clarke Central High School Construction Technology Lab. The demonstrator for the month is Jack Morse. He will focus on finishing and demonstrate embellishing turned items with color and texture. He will have several examples of types of embellishing that he has done and will demonstrate procedures to sand and obtain the types of finishes on his samples. Also, he will show how to make tools that can be used in the finishing process and make it easier. If you would like to meet Jack earlier, he and Charles Armentrout will be having supper at Jason’s Deli on Alps Road at 4:45 Dutch Treat. Join them for this time of food and fellowship.
May 2013 Meeting Reminder — DATE CHANGE!
Our May meeting is this coming Monday, May 20, 2013 due to the Memorial Day Holiday on May 27. Our program for the month will be a hands-on sharpening workshop. There will four – five work stations set up, each with different sharpening systems. For example, there will be a Tormek, a Sorby sanding belt, the Wolverine jig and others. Following a demonstration of each system, members will be divided into groups and rotate around the different stations. Members are encouraged to bring at least two of their own tools they want sharpened as well as safety glasses. Everyone observing the tool sharpening should be wearing safety glasses. The lathe will be set up with a blank so that sharpened tools can be tried out. As a special treat, the club will be providing pizza and drinks. Hope to see you there.
