[crw-talk] Luther High School Demo

[wisawdust at charter.net]

Jim, all four dates for the demos work for me. I am planning on being
there. I have a Delta midi on a stand that I will bring. I figure I
would demonstrate simple bowls.

 Good Afternoon, this will be a decent length email, apologies. 
 Once again thanks for the attendance at the physical meeting. It was
good to see you all.  As I had mentioned we have been able to revive
the demo with Luther High School that had been put on hold due to
Covid. Quick recap we did a general demonstration of turning skills
for all of the woodworking students at Luther and were going to do a
hands on pen turning class with the more advanced students at a later
date. I emailed the instructor and was asked for some dates to work
with for having another general skills demo followed by the hands on.
In addition I will see if we can also involve the Art department to
illustrate the creative aspect of our craft.  
 Here are the dates I am looking at for demo dates. We had at least 6
demonstrators last time, would like that or a couple more if possible.
 
 General demo 17-18 Nov  23-24 Nov 
 Hands on  Dec 8-9 Dec 15-16 
 Timeline (both general and hands on) 1130 Arrive and offload
equipment 12-1 Set up 1-3 Safety brief/intro/Demo 
 The club has the 3 MIDI lathes to bring. The Jet on a stand, the sit
down Jet and the smaller counter top Jet. If you as a demonstrator
have a lathe you can bring that would be great. Or, if you can donate
a lathe for a demonstrator to use that would also be excellent. We
would arrange to meet for transport to and from. What the demonstrator
turns is up to them. We have about 1.5 hours so something you could
completely finish or have ready to apply the finish stage. Last Demo I
did a small lidded box, we had branch mushrooms, small birdhouse,
pens, etc. Please bring the blanks and tools you need.  Also any
artistic pieces that can be donated to display for the students, show
them the different ways this medium can be worked and embellished. 

 Please respond back with any dates that work if you can demo, or any
other assets you could loan for use during the Demo.  
 In Service --
