Well, after watching the news this morning I began watching a You Tube video in which some guy turned a beautiful lidded box.

Now I don't have a guard on my CBN wheel but they are solid metal milled from a billet.

Clubs Zoom meeting where the person gave a presentation on his work shop and showed some of his turnings. Outstanding program. We are holding Zoom meetings for our Zumbro Valley Woodturners Chapter. Sometimes we have a demo and or we can have a show and tell with discussion time. The Sunrisers Kiwanis Club in Rochester that I belong to also holds Zoom weakly meetings. We have a speaker at each meeting and that speaker will be in his or her office making the presentation with questions and answers. The AAW has information on Zoom demo's.

I'm sure there have been several discussions within the membership about "life of the club" Haven't heard a peep! With "under the tree" time likely done for 2020, thank you to Clyde and Jean and Adrian and Beth for supplying the tree for those get togethers. I for one would look forward to some common club goal to work on. Beads of Courage comes to mind, however the local hospitals don't participate in that program. The AAW mag always showcases various clubs activities, even in this time of COVID. Might be a spark there? Zoom has possibilities. Not difficult to schedule and host those meetings. It does require some very basic understanding about your web device, be it a smart phone, tablet or PC. If ya do email, zoomin should be fairly straight forward. Ya only need a stable high speed internet connection, ability to download the Zoom application using a web browser, webcam (most laptops have them built in) and adequate front lighting for the camera, a lamp works fine. I found the AAW virtual symposium this summer to be very cool. Just wish I could remember the topics. Oh, yea, Cindy Drozda, Glenn Lucas, Rudy Lopez, Trent Bosch and several others were spectacular. The virtual experience only lacked the fellowship of being able to chat with people in the same room, as in our live club meetings. The virtual meeting technical part was wonderfully done, actually tops. Albeit, the demonstrators probably had experience with the technology and quality AV equipment along with their woodturning and teaching skill. The "real" club meetings are still the best; donuts, coffee and smart talk amongst the membership! I have not done any shop time during the summer. Now that the season has changed, cool and cold weather will hopefully bring me inside; ample coffee at the ready, spinning wood, some snacks, and good tunes should provide some motivation. A first aid kit and restroom nearby helps? I?ll try to make a few things to share as John suggests. Maybe we'll see some of you Saturday at the David Ellsworth presentation @ $10, a steal. Should be a good one. Stay safe and be well. Bob R -----Original Message----- From: John & Donna Griffiths Sent: Monday, October 19, 2020 1:06 PM To: crw-talk Subject: Club Activities Members, Well, here we are seven months into the pandemic and the numbers just are not getting better. So what do we as a club do to keep it going? Now it is becoming a bit cold to meet under Adrian's or Clyde's tree, and I personally do not feel as safe doing that now as I did in June when the numbers were actually improving. One activity has been for us to post photos and descriptions of the things we have made, and I think it is about time for another round of that. I have a couple of pieces I have created that I intend to photograph and post. And I am sure there are others out there who have things too. The instant gallery has always been an important part of our meetings and sending photos and commenting is a worthwhile activity during these times. We do not have to be professional photographers with $3,000.00 cameras or fancy layouts to place the piece in for shooting. Just shoot with a simple digital camera or smartphone and send the photos to CRW. I just use an elderly iPhone that Apple no doubt wishes I would give up for the latest bells and whistles and it works well enough. (Just decent lighting and sharp focus is adequate.) And your projects do not have to be David Ellsworth or Cindy Drozda quality to send around CRW Land. A bit of tearout or not the best possible design is not a deal breaker. Bottom line, please send some instant gallery photos out to the club. Simple ones. Small ones. Large ones. Complex ones. Christmas ornaments, pens, vases and bowls. Weed pots, you name it. Another activity that is less then perfect but perhaps enjoyable is a Zoom meeting. Zoom is an interesting and somewhat idiot proof technology. (Even I can do it but I have not tried to figure out to just how to set up a meeting yet.) In case you are wondering, here is how it works: someone sets up a meeting ahead of time and send out an email message to attendees with a code. You go to Zoom.com on your device that has a camera and type in the code, click a thing or two to give it permission to access your camera and microphone and bingo, you are on camera and watching/listening to what is going on. We could have a discussion or perhaps a demo. The board members could talk about club business. We could have an instant gallery. The Badger Woodturners have shop tours. What do we Zoom on? We can do it with a smart phone, but the picture is small. They use the front camera on the phone. I also used my tablet, with the front camera but mine was not very satisfactory, it is kinda of a cheap one. Laptops often have a camera built into the screen at the top. I ended up buying a cheap web camera (webcam) online from Target which perches on top of the monitor and it has good picture quality and a microphone. I attended a Shop tour from Badger Woodturners this past Saturday and it worked very well. AAW will have a David Ellsworth demo this Saturday, $10.00 for members, and I think I will sign up for it. So to repeat, the first Bottom Line is to send pictures of you work around on CRWTalk and others to look and comment. Second Bottom Line is for the Board and members to think about doing a Zoom meeting. Board members, what do we address? Members, what do you want to watch and participate in? I will continue as acting Program Director and put something together if there is direction from the members and board and I can find volunteers to help with a Demo if that is part of the deal. We as a club need to keep ourclub going. Let's get 'er done. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can kind of cut with a kind of dull gouge but not with the hook.? Most of us love a really nice trail of shavings flying off the tool, and the hook tool gives that.? When it is cutting well, the shavings are long and thick so wouldn't blow out of a small hole with compressed air either. I would volunteer to do a club demo when it is safe for us to meet.?

The rough grinding, the forging/bending, the hardening, the sharpening, and the tempering are all things that you/we can do in our shop PROVIDED you start with O1 tool steel. I'd be happy to revive this, since, as John can attest, nothing hollows out end grain faster, better, cleaner than a sharp hook tool. It has a learning curve, but it's fun learning. After all, it's just a piece of wood. There are caveats, of course: - Must be sharp [Duh] - Must be end grain!

I am ready to send in a check, no problem. But, I suspect some will be less enthused and will ask ( rightly so) if CRW has not had to pay rent all these months ( maybe we do?) and there have been little to no costs this year, why are there dues for next year? Again, I am ready to send in my dues with no qualms. The question I have is: should CRW forego dues for next year to show good will? This might keep people in the club who may question it?

Very important. I need to add another safety note: Mount your log with a face plate not a chuck. Way too many forces are applied to the wood, it will go flying if chucked. Once it is hollowed you might turn a tenon and chuck it for finishing work, but when you are doing the hogging out, face plate mount only. Thanks for your attention, keep those chips flying safely, John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Well worth the $10 for members it cost. They have John Jordan coming up in November. It will conflict with the WI deer season, I think; but if you sign up for it, you can go back and watch it several times for the following few weeks for free. Even if you miss the original showing. Badger Woodturners is having Nick Agar in early November on Zoom too. I think there is a nominal fee for guests like us. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Robert Patros" To: "Membership mailing list for the AAW Chapter Coulee Region Woodturners."

Many are fee based, WebEx is another, which may have a free version. Free zoom is time & participant limited, 30-40min?. Not sure participant capacity. Easy to get around that, just schedule consecutive meetings. Bob R, Sent from my Phone On Oct 20, 2020 10:18 AM, John & Donna Griffiths > wrote: My two cents worth here, as far as online forums go. I mentioned Zoom in the email down below. This morning I called Gundersen to inquire about an on-line annual check up. I was told they use Skype Business. Sounds like a pretty simple process, I'll know more after the appointment next week. My reason for sharing all this "personal " information, Skype may be a possible platform as well as Zoom. I have no idea which might serve us better. John On 10/19/2020 2:39 PM, Bob Raasch wrote: Hey John and All, Some wonderful ideas here. I'm sure there have been several discussions within the membership about "life of the club" Haven't heard a peep! With "under the tree" time likely done for 2020, thank you to Clyde and Jean and Adrian and Beth for supplying the tree for those get togethers. I for one would look forward to some common club goal to work on. Beads of Courage comes to mind, however the local hospitals don't participate in that program. The AAW mag always showcases various clubs activities, even in this time of COVID. Might be a spark there? Zoom has possibilities. Not difficult to schedule and host those meetings. It does require some very basic understanding about your web device, be it a smart phone, tablet or PC. If ya do email, zoomin should be fairly straight forward. Ya only need a stable high speed internet connection, ability to download the Zoom application using a web browser, webcam (most laptops have them built in) and adequate front lighting for the camera, a lamp works fine. I found the AAW virtual symposium this summer to be very cool. Just wish I could remember the topics. Oh, yea, Cindy Drozda, Glenn Lucas, Rudy Lopez, Trent Bosch and several others were spectacular. The virtual experience only lacked the fellowship of being able to chat with people in the same room, as in our live club meetings. The virtual meeting technical part was wonderfully done, actually tops. Albeit, the demonstrators probably had experience with the technology and quality AV equipment along with their woodturning and teaching skill. The "real" club meetings are still the best; donuts, coffee and smart talk amongst the membership! I have not done any shop time during the summer. Now that the season has changed, cool and cold weather will hopefully bring me inside; ample coffee at the ready, spinning wood, some snacks, and good tunes should provide some motivation. A first aid kit and restroom nearby helps? I?ll try to make a few things to share as John suggests. Maybe we'll see some of you Saturday at the David Ellsworth presentation @ $10, a steal. Should be a good one. Stay safe and be well. Bob R -----Original Message----- From: John & Donna Griffiths Sent: Monday, October 19, 2020 1:06 PM To: crw-talk Subject: Club Activities Members, Well, here we are seven months into the pandemic and the numbers just are not getting better. So what do we as a club do to keep it going? Now it is becoming a bit cold to meet under Adrian's or Clyde's tree, and I personally do not feel as safe doing that now as I did in June when the numbers were actually improving. One activity has been for us to post photos and descriptions of the things we have made, and I think it is about time for another round of that. I have a couple of pieces I have created that I intend to photograph and post. And I am sure there are others out there who have things too. The instant gallery has always been an important part of our meetings and sending photos and commenting is a worthwhile activity during these times. We do not have to be professional photographers with $3,000.00 cameras or fancy layouts to place the piece in for shooting. Just shoot with a simple digital camera or smartphone and send the photos to CRW. I just use an elderly iPhone that Apple no doubt wishes I would give up for the latest bells and whistles and it works well enough. (Just decent lighting and sharp focus is adequate.) And your projects do not have to be David Ellsworth or Cindy Drozda quality to send around CRW Land. A bit of tearout or not the best possible design is not a deal breaker. Bottom line, please send some instant gallery photos out to the club. Simple ones. Small ones. Large ones. Complex ones. Christmas ornaments, pens, vases and bowls. Weed pots, you name it. Another activity that is less then perfect but perhaps enjoyable is a Zoom meeting. Zoom is an interesting and somewhat idiot proof technology. (Even I can do it but I have not tried to figure out to just how to set up a meeting yet.) In case you are wondering, here is how it works: someone sets up a meeting ahead of time and send out an email message to attendees with a code. You go to Zoom.com on your device that has a camera and type in the code, click a thing or two to give it permission to access your camera and microphone and bingo, you are on camera and watching/listening to what is going on. We could have a discussion or perhaps a demo. The board members could talk about club business. We could have an instant gallery. The Badger Woodturners have shop tours. What do we Zoom on? We can do it with a smart phone, but the picture is small. They use the front camera on the phone. I also used my tablet, with the front camera but mine was not very satisfactory, it is kinda of a cheap one. Laptops often have a camera built into the screen at the top. I ended up buying a cheap web camera (webcam) online from Target which perches on top of the monitor and it has good picture quality and a microphone. I attended a Shop tour from Badger Woodturners this past Saturday and it worked very well. AAW will have a David Ellsworth demo this Saturday, $10.00 for members, and I think I will sign up for it. So to repeat, the first Bottom Line is to send pictures of you work around on CRWTalk and others to look and comment. Second Bottom Line is for the Board and members to think about doing a Zoom meeting. Board members, what do we address? Members, what do you want to watch and participate in? I will continue as acting Program Director and put something together if there is direction from the members and board and I can find volunteers to help with a Demo if that is part of the deal. We as a club need to keep ourclub going. Let's get 'er done. John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They are asking if the club wants to participate in an outdoor Christmas Market (Julemarked) event on Saturday December 5 from 10AM to 3PM. I myself do not wish to participate in an outdoor event at this time, nor even under normal conditions am I inclined to do an outdoor event in December at this point in my life. (Some of you who know me recall I used to spend hours looking down a hole in the ice with my back to the wind, but that was back in the day.) That being said, if a group of members want to put together an outing at Norskedalen, get together and plan it. You might want to coordinate with Katrina Bjornstad at the email address below or I will do the coordination if you want. There is an entry fee so I suppose if the club was to pay that, then the usual policy of 25% of the sales would revert to the club. And presumably you could use the club lathes and equipment. Final decision on that would be up to the board. If a few of you decides to get together and do it without club involvement, then no 25% cut to the club and no club equipment would be used. Let me know if you have interest in this event. John ------ Forwarded Message ------ From: "Katrina Bjornstad" To: griff at mwt.net Sent: 10/27/2020 8:50:00 AM Subject: Invitation to Norskedalen's Old-Fashioned Christmas Julemarked Hi John, I hope you and your friends and family have been well. You are one of the contacts I have for the Coulee Region Woodturners, but if there is someone else within the organization who is responsible for coordinating events, could you please pass this information on to that person? I wanted to get in touch with you about our Old-Fashioned Christmas event. Because of COVID-19 and for the safety of everyone, we cannot celebrate in our usual style. So to make an event as safe as possible, we are planning an outdoor alternative to enjoy the Christmas season. Holding a Julemarked (or Christmas Market) during Christmastime is a common tradition in Norway. These themed markets offer a range of items from traditional foods to specialty folk arts and crafts. This year Norskedalen wants to be a part of that tradition by hosting a market that features hand-made gifts and Norwegian baked goods. Our Old-Fashioned Christmas Julemarked will take place in our open-air pavilion on December 5th from 10am ? 3pm. At this event, visitors will be able to purchase Christmas gifts from local vendors, enjoy our property through self-guided tours and hikes, join in on a hunt for the yule log, and have their kiddos write letters to Father Christmas! We are currently looking for vendors for the Julemarked and would like to invite the Coulee Region Woodturners to take part in the event. The vendor fee for this event is $50. Vendor booths measure 16?x8? and include three picnic tables to be used how you choose. If you wanted to bring a lathe, we could work to accommodate that. Because of the size of the pavilion and distancing guidelines, there is a limited amount of vendors that can participate. Norskedalen is committed to the safety of staff, volunteers, participants, and guests. The COVID-19 guidelines in place at the time of the event will be followed and face coverings will be required. Our Christmas event serves as one of the annual fundraisers for Norskedalen and all proceeds from admission and vendor fees are invested into education programs and the preservation of countless historic objects and buildings that are cared for by Norskedalen. If you have any questions about the event or about participating, please do not hesitate to contact me.
