[crw-talk] Saturday Meeting

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Hello Friends,

Most likely you have seen James' note about the meeting coming up on the 
20th.  We'll be on Zoom, of course.  And as he said, he'll send out an 
invitation with a blue line of  code you click on to "git 'er done", 
(apologies to Larry the Cable Guy.  Better to steal his line the the one 
some other comedian says, "you can't fix stupid).

Agenda:  We will be chatting as usual but you supply your own donuts and 
coffee,a  business meeting, instant gallery and of course a Demo.

The Demo will be on the interplay of 3D printing and woodturning.  That 
will be interesting.  James showed the board a picture of a Longworth 
Chuck made with a 3D printer.  In a sense, 3D printing is the opposite 
of what we do with a blank of wood mounted in the lathe.  We are like 
sculptors who turn away everything that is not the final object we had 
in mind when we began.  3D printers, on the other hand, spray heated 
plastic on the surface of the printer to achieve the final object 
without all the waste around it.  For example one can program the 
printer to make a set of female and male threads to place in a box for a 
screw-on lid.  Kind of the opposite of CNC machining as well.

So tune in, have your coffee ready and enjoy.  If you have questions 
about getting connected to Zoom, reply to this with your question and 
we'll see what we can do to help you get on board.

John
