GAW Newsletter—June 2020
Keep on Turning!
I’m sorry to say that I don’t have much that’s new to report.
Our monthly meetings will be online remote interactive demonstra-tions for the next several months. Harvey Meyer’s demonstration last month and Cindy Drozda’s demonstration the month before were both very high quality presentations with excellent content and videography that was very well done. I hope that you all were able to participate and enjoyed the presentations. If you have any issues with your ability to participate, please let us know. Mike Peace will be demonstrating making a chess set this month on Thursday, 6/18, at 6:30. If you’re missing out on the social side of life, join the ses-sion as early as 5:45.
An important part of every meeting is finding out what members have been working on. I think that’s particularly important with all of us spending so much time to ourselves. If you have something that you’d like to put in the Virtual Instant Gallery, please send elec-tronic photos of the object(s) and the instant gallery form to Scott Questad at the following address: [email protected] Please include a description of the piece as you would at a meeting. If you aren’t able to do that, have your piece handy on Thursday evening and we’ll offer you some time to share it during the meeting.
I’m sure that by now you’ve heard that Turning Southern Style has been cancelled for 2020. That decision was a tough one, and we struggled with making it over a period of multiple months. We are hopeful that the event we’re starting to plan for 2021 will be an ex-ceptional success!
Mike Peace will demon-strate how to turn a chess set. A chess set can be a project for both a novice and experienced woodturner. Mike will cover chess
set design, wood selection, using story sticks, chucking small items, turning and finishing. You can access his article on turning a chess set published in the Feb 2020 American Woodturner on his web-site, MikePeaceWoodturning.com.
