<body>Hello Friends,<div><br /></div><div>Most likely you have seen James' note about the meeting coming up on the 20th. We'll be on Zoom, of course. And as he said, he'll send out an invitation with a blue line of code you click on to "git 'er done", (apologies to Larry the Cable Guy. Better to steal his line the the one some other comedian says, "you can't fix stupid).</div><div><br /></div><div>Agenda: We will be chatting as usual but you supply your own donuts and coffee,a business meeting, instant gallery and of course a Demo.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Demo will be on the interplay of 3D printing and woodturning. That will be interesting. James showed the board a picture of a Longworth Chuck made with a 3D printer. In a sense, 3D printing is the opposite of what we do with a blank of wood mounted in the lathe. We are like sculptors who turn away everything that is not the final object we had in mind when we began. 3D printers, on the other hand, spray heated plastic on the surface of the printer to achieve the final object without all the waste around it. For example one can program the printer to make a set of female and male threads to place in a box for a screw-on lid. Kind of the opposite of CNC machining as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>So tune in, have your coffee ready and enjoy. If you have questions about getting connected to Zoom, reply to this with your question and we'll see what we can do to help you get on board.</div><div><br /></div><div>John</div></body></html>
