[crw-talk] Fwd: Wig stand plans

[wziegler at tds.net]

Hi John, 
Wendell here. 
I have plans to bring a lot of smaller turning blanks. A LOT OF PIECES, ALL DRY READY TO TURN. A lot of them would be a good size for what you are referring to. I also will bring some smaller burly pieces , and maybe some larger stock. 
I don't do much turning anymore and I feel the club has rewarded me many times over. 
So for a price, I may ask for a membership for next year. Will talk about it when I bring the stock. Most likely the December meet. 

Wendell

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

At our meeting Saturday, John mentioned an upcoming challenge. Wig stands. Please see the attachment below. I found these online. I have the top done and am working on the rest. Pretty straightforward. Nice project.
