[crw-talk] December meeting

[griff]

Hello Members,

The December meeting is coming up soon.  Like Saturday.  This Saturday.  
December 16.  Please show up early to help with the set-up!

We have a new take on the December meeting format and I am hoping it 
will work out well.

1,    First, the food.  Pam will be making up chili and cornbread, along 
with some condiments so you can tailor-make it to you degree of 
spiciness you desire.  Your part: please bring a dessert or salad to pass.

2,    We will be doing a Round Robin.  This will give us chances to walk 
around viewing the round robin demos, ask lots of questions and 
generally work up an appetite.  We have four round robin topics:  
The*First* is Duane Hill doing thread chasing (and he just might reveal 
what he does with them if he ever catches them). *Second* Aaron will be 
demonstrating a bowl from a board.  Always an interesting topic that has 
been demonstrated in the past. *Third*, James and Julie Bloomer will be 
demonstrating their resin blanks and may turn something using them.  
These folks are the resin power couple in CRW and their work is always 
interesting and unique.  James may have a word or three about 3D 
printing and it's applications to turning as well. *Forth*, Pen Making.  
We have a bunch of pen kits ready to turn.  They belong to Luther, we 
turn and assemble them then give them to Luther.  This will be a chance 
for members to practice and sharpen their pen turning skills and for 
newbies to set one up in a lathe and give it a try with expert 
supervision. and a chance to do some good.  Jay will be our resident 
expert in this.  So we plan to have for four lathes ready to rock and 
turn. And anyone who makes up lyrics based on the tune "Rockin' around 
the Christmas tree" to "Rockin' around the Christmas lathe" will get two 
drawing tickets if they sing it and perhaps three if they can persuade 
Dan Wilson to accompany you on a Native American flute.

3,    We will be having a drawing for prizes for the challenges entered 
over the year by members.  So to refresh your memories, we had _Top 
making_, _All skewed up_, _2x4 by 4'_, _Whimsical item_ and _Moving 
parts_ challenges for the year.  When you sign in for the meeting, take 
a ticket for each challenge you entered.  We will draw form a supply of 
prizes (Hint, some of the prizes just might be the topic of an up-coming 
challenge.  Speak to Pam and she just might reveal her plan.)

So be sure to show up and have a good time.

John
