My 39th wedding anniversary. Don't know if I will make it or not. I've missed the last two. Maybe if I ask really nice and do something special afterwards, I will get to attend this one.

This meeting is coming up, and I wanted to check with the demo folks...I remember getting a couple of volunteers, but I failed to write them down. What demo folks did I get to volunteer?

Huh... guess Steve and I will show each other what we know. That'll be a short meeting on my end...:biggrin:

If it's a short meeting, I might run up to Constant's "factory" after lunch and get some stabilized blanks if he's working (which he does about 8 days a week lately!). Might make a good road trip while you're down from the hills...

Wow, brooks is not coming, we will have to have the state lower the flags to half staff.....


I have not had any volunteers for demonstrations.....I guess I can put on a 101 demonstration or I can bring some of my other stuff in to demonstrate segmented or my resin filling technique......


I would like to see the photo op from Steve if he is still open for it......

We will have plenty of folks there, the usual crowd trading, selling and telling lies.....

Well I have to work....but it is close enough that I will be able to drop by for a little while. Lucky the job is close. Look forward to seeing everybody. I think I have several Cherry burl blanks milled up and may bring a few for gifts. Russell

Ronny, we did that a few meetings ago. Russel had some of the new CA that Woodcraft sells and showed a few tricks.

Check back in for the September meeting.

I think I remember how...if not I can watch a video.

LOL...a video starring yourself!

Hey would appreciate you doing the CA demo if you can.

I want to thank Steve for doing a "show and tell" on his photo booth and techniques!

I loved the "invisible ink" pen that Jim had turned, that was a cool teaching tool! I think you have inspired us to complete some other demo pieces as well!

We had a great turn out, and I cannot wait till the next meeting. We will have all kinds of neat things going on.

If you are interested in getting a hat or shirt, please look over in the thread for the anniversary meeting, I will put some details in that thread. It is looking good for demos, as we will demonstrations so far on CA finishing and scallops for pens.

Again, thanks everyone for the participation!

Yeah, it was great meeting some fellow IAP members like Ronnie, and Russell, and Constant...

When I get some good pix of the invisible ink pen, I'll have to post it on the show off your pens, or penturning forums, or something.... :biggrin:

Hey guys, don't thank me for the demo - it was a collaborative effort with lots of input from other (except the heckling part... :tongue:) - the best way to learn!

Hey Steve,

You got that photo kit from Radio Shack? Did you say it was $20 or $120?

I see a similar kit there now, but it's $119.99 or so...

Jim,

Got it several years ago. Mine's a Digital Concepts PS-101 8"x8"x8". You may have seen one of their bigger models.

Try searching Amazon or buy.com for "photo tent" and you should find some good ones in the $30-ish ballpark.
