August Meeting?

[jleiwig]

I know it's not even July, but from our last discussion it seems like a July meeting happening is unlikely. So now we are on to August's meeting.

I'm pretty sure I can still secure the Woodcraft classroom for August 15th. They currently do not have any classes scheduled. I will double check with their classroom guy tomorrow as he has Monday's off.

Would anyone be interested in a meeting here in Dayton?

Right now traveling is out of the question for me, but I could handle a meeting here at the Dayton store. They have 6 mini lathes and all the tools and accessories you could want.

The reason I post this is because I don't want to take away from another meeting, but maybe we need to think about having a southern ohio meeting and northern ohio meeting?

 

[rjwolfe3]

We have talked about having both northern and southern meetings but choose a more central area to get the most people involved. I am not opposed to having as many meetings as we can in various areas but I am not sure how many would be able to attend the meetings. I do know that Grub was working on getting his shop set up to be able to meet in Northern Ohio. If you plan a southern meeting, I will try to make it. I am currently missing a reliable vehicle to make it to meetings but am working on that. Start a thread here about the interest level for a southern Ohio meeting and we will see what happens.

 

[jleiwig]

First I'll double check with Woodcraft that they are still ok with us using the meeting room, then I'll post about interest in a southern Ohio meeting.

 

[mbroberg]

North, South or wherever.....if my schedule allows it I will be there..

 

[jleiwig]

Ok. I went ahead and reserved the woodcraft classroom here in Dayton for Aug 15th from 9 until 12. I need to know how many plan on attending, so I can forward it to them. They will supply lathes and tools, but any other supplies are on us. They also have coffee there as well.

I need some ideas on what to do during the meeting, and anyone who wants to demonstrate something...like maybe turning pendants? Or anything else that anyone is interested in.

The "Next Meeting" of the Ohio Chapter has been updated!

 

[Robert Taylor]

1st and 3rd saturdays are never good for me as i belong to two other clubs using those saturdays. i can not attend this meeting. i have noticed that other chapters meet on weekday's in the evenings and i even attended the michigan chapters meeting on a sunday afternoon. if the response is low you might consider other days of the week.

This was the only day that Woodcraft has available. They are booking clear through october right now. They have a very big and nice classroom with 6 lathes and tons of tools, so they are always popular.

You are always welcome to organize a nothern meeting if this meeting doesn't suit your needs.

Northern Ohio meeting is coming up once Grub32 gets all moved in. We just have to have some patience.

Justin,
I am working on my vehicle situation and hope to attend. Will let you know once I know more.

And our next meeting at WoodWerks is coming up in October. More details to follow.

Bob,
Would a Wed or Thurs evening meeting interest you if we can find a place to hold it?

 

[nylajune]

Dayton is a 3 hour drive for me. 6 hours on the road plus meeting time would fill my whole day. Columbus is still best for me....about half the drive time. But, I understand everyone wanting to schedule meetings in their areas. I guess I would be interested in a southern Ohio or southeastern Ohio meeting.

 

[thewishman]

Justin, thanks for setting the meeting up! I'm planning on coming, anyone want to carpool from Columbus?

That is a very nice store.

 

[Jim15]

Justin I am going to try and make it I will let you know for sure in a week or two. Thanks for doing this.

 

[jleiwig]

No problemo guys. Just let me know anything you would like to demonstrate or have demonstrated and I'll see if I can find someone to set it up.

 

[thewishman]

Pressure casting and decals have piqued my interest - anyone willing to demonstrate?

 

[bobindayton]

Justin, thanks for stting up a meeting in our backyard. Unfortunately I have a church event that day and will not be able to attend. Look forward to hear what takes place andseeing pictures.
Bob

 

[jleiwig]

Ok...so I and Chris are going to be the only people at the meeting?

If that's the case, I think Woodcraft would rather use their space for other activities.

Come on guys! I've given over a months notice, so people can get their schedules cleared.

If I don't hear from others that they will be attending then we will probably have to cancel the meeting.

 

[mbroberg]

If it weren't for the fact that I have committed to working at our church's festival on that day I would be there.

 

[foamcapt40]

No guarantees, but will try to make it on the 15th need to LOML doesn't havemy plans made for me.

 

[thewishman]

It is time for a batch of Ken Nelson's laser pen kits again.

(Hey Justin, since it may be just the two of us, how's about you and me splitting them up.:biggrin

Sweet...that's three to share in the bounty!

 

[melogic]

I remember those days! Good Luck!

 

[pensmyth]

I would like to attend the meeting. Who, What, Where, When I'm interested in casting and pendant demo's.

Andy

 

[pensmyth]

Just saw the sticky note. I'll be there!

 

[Grizz]

Woodcraft, Dayton on the 15th. Unless I get an interview. I'll probably be there. That is 'my' woodcraft store.

 

[PTJeff]

I just got the pm about the meeting. I'll be vacationing with the family before the kids go back to school.. Sorry, but thanks for the invite

 

[jleiwig]

I wish you luck with an interview. Although I hope you interview at someplace that is open monday-friday so you have your weekends free to play!

 

[HawksFeather]

If the good Lord is willing and the creek doesn't rise, I will be there. It will be good to put a face with some of the Ohio names.

Jut found out about this from Hawksfeather and if he'll stop by to pick me up I may buy his lunch if he'll let me ride along....

Jerry

care to do a demo on game calls? I'm really interested in making some for some friends of mine.

 

[HawksFeather]

I can bring a bunch of supplies used and calls in various stages. It will give people an idea of what is needed. I don't want to take all the time since calls is not the main topic.

I'd tend to disagree. I'm sure everyone would be interested. For example, there has been some requests for a pendant demo, and that's not pens, but it's turning related. I understand if you don't want to do a demo, but I know I for one would love to learn about game calls.

 

[HawksFeather]

I will bring everything I need and if a demo is needed it can be done.

Jerry

Jerry

Thank you! I owe you a cold one!

 

[jleiwig]

Ok. So how does this sound so far.

-We will have a display area for people to show their creations off.
-I'll cook up some sort of demo, it will either be a pendant demo or maybe casting.
-I'll have to check with Woodcraft on that though due to fumes.
-Hawksfeather has generously been pestered into giving some info on call making.
-I'd love to do a blank swap, but I don't have that many blanks currently. I could bring in some pieces of Osage that are still in tree form if you like. If I had a bandsaw I'd cut them up!

Any other ideas or things people want to see?

 

[Jim15]

Sounds like a nice lineup of things to do. See you Saturday.
