Hi All,
I hope everyone is doing well and getting some turning done.
We had 34 attendees for February’s meeting with 41 members paid up for 2026 dues.
The demo was by Ron Bartz on how to make a bowl from a board. He walked us through the steps in the process, how to determine your table angle to a bandsaw blade, and then how to glue things up. There was no actual turning or sawing, but he brought in several pieces that he had made to show what can be done.
The president’s challenge on a finished bowl bottom was won by Jerry Lilly taking home a $10 Menard’s Gift Card.
No president’s challenge was made for March’s mtg.
There was a light turnout for the open house Saturday, but the new band saw got some use.
March’s demo will be on another way to turn screw threads by Joe Nyce. I think this is a repeat from years ago, but we have a lot of new members since then. I’ve never seen it and would like to learn this method.
Looking forward to seeing all who can make it to our March 4th meeting.
Dan
