[crw-talk] Boom

[griff]

Members,

Regarding Bob's email of a few days ago I think we have quite a few 
items necessary for building camera boom systems for over the turning 
and the tailstock views on hand including the high end stuff, the sturdy 
tripods and accessories; all we have to do is delegate someone to look 
at what we have, determine from one of several sources such as what 
James found out at a pen turning conference recently or the AAW 
reference Bob R. mentioned.  Plus there are surely many other resources 
we could use.  We may be able to get a good set up with some added 
hardware-store items or we may need some specialized parts.  I am pretty 
sure it ain't rocket science.

But we need someone to act.  To actually do something.  To get the 
wheels turning.  In a fairly short time frame since our professional 
demo is 11 days from now, August 19.  We owe it to our members and our 
demonstrators to get it done.

James, please call a work group, or authorize some one to start the 
process, or order materials or something tangible.  There is not a lot 
to be done, I think.  But we gotta do it.

Members, if a call for a work group comes along, PLEASE make yourselves 
available to help if at all possible.

John
