[crw-talk] Fwd: Wig stand plans

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Members,

Bob Patros, thanks for the forward of the wig stand plans, they seem 
pretty simple.  I printed out a set because even I can follow directions 
enough to pull something like this off.  John Fisher brought up a great 
way to kick off such a club project would be a challenge.  Bob Raasch 
will speak with the cancer treatment folks at Gundersen about whether 
they would be open to receiving them.  If anyone has connections at Mayo 
or the Cancer Society, let the board know.  I envision this being a 
project that will be started as a challenge and evolving into an ongoing 
mission for the club.

Do any members have access to some decent hardwood timber?  Maple or 
ash.  Elm, poplar, box elder or oak.  Or other hardwoods that might be 
laying in someone's shed.  We don't need expensive woods like cherry or 
walnut, no burls required, no exotics, just functional woods that can be 
turned into pleasing shapes.  Just some 2 or 21/2" by 6" and some 1 1/2" 
by 1 1/2" pieces about 10-12" long.  Pretty dry of course.

I foresee us receiving donations of wood and giving sets of blanks to 
members to turn into the stands which would be displayed at meetings and 
then donated.

A shout out is due for Pam Day, one of our newer members for this idea.  
Three cheers, Pam.  Pam.  Pam.

When I have more time, I am going to dig through the piles of my 
lifetime supply of wood to see what I can come up with.  I think I have 
some stuff that can be sawn into blanks and made into stands.  Nothin' 
fancy, some ash and box elder but serviceable.  A note in the directions 
Bob Patros sent along mentions finishes, sounds like polyurethane is the 
best for durability, being impervious to the chemicals used in the wigs 
or their cleaning and more importantly, avoiding toxicity.

Please consider volunteering,whether it is donating blanks, turning the 
stands or other aspects of such a project.

John
