2nd Quarter Meeting

WoodenDragon · Mar 24, 2009

It's that time again...

I need you guys to narrow down when we want to get together. What month would you prefer April, May, or June? Once you guys decide on the month I will see what days WoodCraft has their room available and we can go from there....

Also, now would be a good time to throw out any agenda ideas as well...

Dean was kind enough to put together a spreadsheet for people to update their date preferences in April, May, or June... Simply add your forum name to the next available line and place a 1 under any Sunday you can make it.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me...

anytime after the first week of may works for me. Between now and then I'm busier than a one legged man in a but kickin contest.

arkie · Mar 24, 2009

I'll be out of town the first week of May myself. I'd prefer a different time, but that shouldn't be a deal breaker.

RonSchmitt · Mar 24, 2009

May Or June, either works for me.

kent4Him · Mar 26, 2009

May or June is best.

ed4copies · Mar 26, 2009

If you pick May, don't forget Mother's Day
IF you pick June, remember Father's Day
If you pick July, plan around my birthday (should be a national holiday, but not yet.)

Oh, I'll be there, pretty much any time. (I have no life!!)

RustyNail · Mar 26, 2009

May or june works here!

hilltopper46 · Mar 28, 2009

May or June works for me except for Memorial Day Weekend (I'm hoping to be doing a show then).

Maybe you'll have another post for this sort of thing, but I'm willing to bring my Drill Doctor (and some old beat-up drills) and demo it and my WorkSharp 3000 as well. Maybe sharpening could be the theme?? Or part of the theme for the meeting.

ed4copies · Mar 28, 2009

Afterward, we could get the reputation for being "The sharpest group in the country"!!

WoodenDragon · Mar 28, 2009

Well so far it looks like anytime after the first week of May... Hopefully we'll get a few more post to see if I can narrow it down further.

Tony we have had a few requests in the past for some tool sharpening demonstrations so this would be great.

If anyone else has any agenda ideas please let me know!!

alphageek · Mar 31, 2009

I don't think it makes a big difference to me. I'm in a show down that way the first weekend in may, but hopefully I can make just about anytime. I won't know for any specific date until closer anyway.

alphageek · Apr 2, 2009

Spreadsheet created for people to update preferences... Just put in your name and a 1 under any Sunday you can make it.

...

I have an agenda idea,
( insert yelling and foot stomping here )
how about how to drill alternative ivory WITHOUT blowing out 1 half of each pen

?

hambone420 · Apr 4, 2009

May works for me.
But Not Mothers Day.

I'm no expert, and i have yet to work with alternate ivory, so take this for what it's worth...

On delicate or unstable material i seem to have found a method that works for me. I start with a smaller bit and gradually work my way up to the correct size. The more unstable it is the smaller steps i take, making sure the blank cools down in between the steps. Obviously this takes a little longer, but I have yet to blow anything up using this method.

I'm sure Ed will be more then happy to share his method...

ed4copies · Apr 4, 2009

I would be happy to do that, either WITH the Beall collet or without.

Let me know, if you want a demo.

WoodenDragon · Apr 12, 2009

I spoke with Chris at WoodCraft and he has the following dates available:

5/24, 5/31, 6/14, 6/21, 6/28

So far we've only had 6 people update the spreadsheet, and based off that I will be selecting 5/31 as our meeting date unless I get any negative feedback before Wednesday.

ed4copies said:

I think a demo would be great. I'd say one without the collet, as I'm sure not everyone has one.

We're still looking for more agenda items for the meeting, so please let me know if you if there is something you'd be interested in...

alphageek · Apr 12, 2009

If there is no preference, I'd love june over may ... Schools out so I don't have to get back to GB and could stay later on sunday night.

Dean

WoodenDragon · Apr 12, 2009

Dean, It honestly doesn't matter to me... June 14th work better for ya?

alphageek · Apr 13, 2009

If its ok with the rest, that would be much better for me.

WoodenDragon · Apr 13, 2009

We'll shoot for 6/14 then. If no one gives me any negative feedback on this date by Wednesday I'll schedule it with WoodCraft...

pipeyeti · Apr 15, 2009

works for me

RustyNail · Apr 21, 2009

So do we know if we are set for June 14th?

WoodenDragon · Apr 27, 2009

Sorry for the delayed response. It took Woodcraft a few days to get back to me, and then I got busy...

Anyways, we're all set for Sunday, June 14th at 12pm.

I'll be sending out e-mails, adding an agenda list, and asking for confirmations in the days to come...

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me...
