Classic City Woodturners

Fellow wood turners, Our next meeting is Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at the Lyndon House Art Center, 293 Hoyt St, Athens. Our meeting begins at 6 PM, but help is needed at 5:30 PM to help with set up.  Our demonstration for the month is tool sharpening.  There will be several sharpening systems there and demonstrated.  Following the demonstrations you will be able to sharpen up to two of your own tools and try them out on the lathe.  Another feature for this meeting will be Ken Rizza of Wood Turners Wonders.  Check out his web site at www.woodturnerswonders.com to read about Ken and the sharpening items he has available.  Don’t forget the raffle and bring your contributions.  Also, if you didn’t pay your club dues last month, please bring them with you this month.  Individual dues are $30 and family dues are $35.  See you there.

*** A reminder to bring turning tools to sharpen at this meeting after demos on how to do it.  Also, I am now told that Ken Rizza from Woodturners Wonders will also sharpen as many tools as he can.

All, The Classic City Woodturners will meet on Tuesday, February 3 at the Lyndon House Art Center at 6pm.  The demonstration will be pen turning with club members Bill Van Wie, Jim Talley and others.  Dues for 2015 will also be collected.  Remember that individual dues are $30 and family are $35.  Please plan on being there and supporting your woodturning club.

There will not be a CCW meeting in January 2015.

Folks,

We still do not have anyone for the offices of VP and Pres for 2015.  Without filling these offices, the club will have to take a hiatus and then try to restart sometime in the future.  If you have some time available, please consider filling one of these positions.  There are plenty of folks who have filled these positions in the past that can advise and assist, they just do not have the time to do it all themselves over and over again.  Do not let “I don’t know what to do” be a limiting factor.  Doing nothing may equate to the disappearance of the club! 🙁

The Classic City Woodturners’ annual Christmas Party is coming up on Monday, December 15, 2014 beginning at 6 PM at the Greystone Subdivision Clubhouse, same place as last year.  Again, there will be all you can eat Bar B Q with the fixings plus free beer and wine as well as soft drinks.  There will be a gift exchange of items that you have turned, a tool or piece of wood or anything of interest to a woodturner – this is optional and participate only if you want to.  To plan the amount of food and drink we need, please let me know if you are attending and how many by Monday December 1, 2014.  The cost is $10 per person.  Contact me atjustin.reese@charter.net or 706 353-3145.
