[crw-talk] Updates

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Jim, thank you for the club update.

The idea of us supplying some woodturning videos for Norskedalen is 
intriguing, I think we could get some footage from shops where the 
turner has their lathe more in the center of the shop so the 
videographer can stand at the end or on the other side of the lathe, or 
set up a camera on a tripod.  All the while using protective gear.  
(Just makes me wonder, are the Trend units N95?)  I don't know what kind 
of a camera one would use other than a trusty smart phone nor exactly 
how the video is transferred from the camera card to Norskedalen other 
than by text, but we do have members more tech savvy than this old boy.  
I would consider participating is some way if it can be done safely 
virus wise.

And a baseball bat field trip, very interesting.

John
