Hi All,
I hope everyone is getting to do some turning.
We had 27 attendees for April’s meeting with 57 members now paid up for 2026 dues.
The Open house was attended by 11 and there will be an advance course on April 18th about the Band Saw and how to use it in wood turning.
The April demo was by me on manually duplicating small items. I did a cribbage peg and then a chess pawn. See the demo write up in the newsletter for more details, and it was also added to the website as an article.
May 6th demo will be by Chip Troost on making a dibbler for the planting season.
We drew a raffle winner, and have started the next 3-month raffle for a 3/8″ detail spindle gouge.
The president’s challenge of turning matching eggs was won by Steve Hay. He made a bunch of eggs and earned a $10 Kwik Trip fuel card.
Feed My People bowls can still be brought in to the May meeting. John Layde will pick be picking them up.
The President’s challenge for the May meeting was to manually turn two duplicated items, such as a drawer knob, game piece, shaker peg, etc.
Looking forward to seeing all who can make it to our May 6th meeting.
Dan
