<p>Members,</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Members, if a call for a work group comes along, PLEASE make
yourselves available to help if at all possible.<br>
</p>
<p>John<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There has been talk bout AV periodically
this past year+. I am reminded that the AAW has detailed
plans on how to make the boom that the AAW uses at all the
onsite symposia. I’ve seen it action! Plans available at <a
href="tiny.cc/boom" moz-do-not-send="true">tiny.cc/boom </a> The
journal lists cost for hardware bout $400, I suspect that
would be closer to $500 in today’s dollars. I have not
interest in making one, however, this may be a project the
club membership or committee may wish to pursue. Hardware
additional cost; monitor, camera, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> As an aside, we have not had visual AV for
several months now, however, memory fairly short lately, so
can’t recollect last time was used, maybe Alan Lacer?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anywho, a quick and dirty would be to hang
2 of our existing analog cameras on the existing truss system,
directly wire cams to TV’s via the RCA RGB/sound inputs on
TV’s, 1 camera per TV. At least some visual would be
available. Ability to hear the presenter, another story??? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think Lyndal is our presenter, been here
several times, would be nice to give his expertise the due he
deserves. He will surely bring about new learning…the club
meeting’s purpose afterall. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope to see you in a few.<o:p></o:p></p>
