November 2009

AWA has settled into our new home  at Hardware Specialties for our monthly meetings.  We want to say a big THANK YOU to all of those members that show up early and stay late for setup and take down.

Randall Farris was the demonstrator this month.  He showed us how to make a special top that flips onto its stem.   Randall then demonstrated the techniques required for building his Vase that is actually a box.

     

     
 

 
     

     

     
 

 
     

 

 

 

September 2009

We have moved our meeting to a new location at Hardware Specialties and this was our very first meeting in the new digs.  Lots of new setup challenges and figuring out where to put what where and how that is going to work here.  We had a great time checking it out with lots more room for others to come and participate.

Kris Hlebechat was our demonstrator for this meeting. He showed us how to make pepper mills and explained how he creates his glue ups for the mills.  Not only was it our first meeting of the year, the first time to meet in our new location, it was also Kris' first time to demonstrate and he did an Excellent job of it too.

The turnout to the AWA meetings are always packed as you can see by the group photos. Mike wanted a Birdseye view so he sat up in the loft during the meeting.  Randy Farris demonstrated ebonizing woods like Ash and Oak. He also showed how to use black patinating wax to highlight the grain.

In spite of the extremely cold weather our members showed up in force again. They are such a great group of men and women who are exited about woodturning.  This month's demonstrators were Wayne Boden and Richard Raynor.  They shared with us all the different aspects of making pens. Showing what kind of equipment you need to the polish for finishing the pen.
