So what are these meetings about? I am new to pen turning and this site. I am just west of Indy and am interested in attending a meeting.

Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie , at our meetings , we have had demonstrations done by our members , which included casting acrylic blanks , how to do a CA finish , Ken Mayes brought his PenWizard , Dave Washburn did an Aluminum sheet metal inlay pen . The last meeting was pretty much a BS session with Josh two new members , and ME . Josh brought a nice looking Pendant he made . Usually we meet at the Woodcraft store on E. 86th St. in Indy . Dave had us down to his place in Oct. in Bloomfield . That was great !

I think most everybody is either too busy , or too far to drive , or has to work .

That sounds like a good time. I am still new to pen turning. I have only done a few slimlines so far. I would definitely like to see how others with more experience turn and finish their pens. I am pretty interested in seeing the CA finish done in person. I have never been to the Woodcraft store but I have been in the area. I have been to the Rockler store and I thought the two stores were pretty close. Have you ever seen the pen turning demonstrations at Rockler? I have been thinking about stopping and seeing one. But I think these meetings sound better. I will keep checking back to see when the next meeting happens.

Sounds good to me. I have never been to one and am not sure what all needs to be done to set it up. I would assume that you have to get the ok from the Woodcraft store if that is where we would have it. I am sure Chuck would know more about setting up a meeting.

OK , there are three so far . Josh has been arranging the meetings at Woodcraft , as he knows the manager . So , how about it Josh ? Can you hook us up ? Kenny Mayes is our chapter leader , but haven't seen any replies to my posts since Nov. 5th , but I'm sure he's around here somewhere . Wonder if Bill Bettig would like to attend another meeting ? I've got Bills number . Larry Pierce , Dave Washburn , Coop ? Ron is ready ! We COULD have a good sized group . Let's hear some noise . We have a new member Jamie , who is interested in learning more about turning pens . Hope we can put something together .

I open to anytime but I think we will get more response after the holidays. The weekends between now and then are pretty busy for most people. If we can get a date set we can contact start to contact everyone. There are quite a few that have been in the past and some new ones also. We would have a great crowd if everyone shows up at the same time!

The 3rd would probably work better for me. I will have me kids on the 10th. I don't think you would want me to bring a 6 and 4 year old with me to a meeting LOL.

UUHHH , just a question ! It seems like Saturdays were out , because of class scheduling , right ? I'm just thinking about the Colts games being on while we're at meetings . I'm pretty fired up about this season , and I think Ron is too . Sooo , is there any way to do both ? Maybe meet after the game ? Wait , I just looked at the schedule and the last regular season game is on the 3rd . But , when would the play-off games begin ? What ever , I think the 10th would be best , but it really doesn't matter that much to me .

I can't make the 2nd. We are going out of town for the weekend. But if that works best for everyone I'll make the next one.

Hey guys.....can a new guy join your group? I'm from Lafayette but I'm coming to Indy on the 16th for the woodworking show at the fairgrounds that day. I just joined this forum but have been making pens and things for a few years.

Are you kidding Tom? We pay people to join our group. Keep watching here and I'm sure something will be firmed up soon. I plan on going to the woodworking show also but I thought it was the next weekend. I will have to check that out. Good to here from you.
