Here are some pictures from last week's GTG at Curtis'. We all had a great time and enjoyed meeting new folks and putting faces to names.

Pen display area where folks showed off their stuff.

Blank display area with all sorts of blanks to buy and trade.

And here are the DEMOS!
Monty's Texas Flag blank Demo.

Lunch, we filled up the place. Notice the 2 big screen tv in the background. Since we are in Texas all the had going were movies about trucks.

Afternoon Demos:

Curtis' CA Demo was "Da Bomb!
If nothing else we learned that the paper towel you use will make or break your CA finish (you had to be there )

Casting "Worthless wood" DEMO:

And finally...this went on all day...Monty kept begging people to buy his stuff...

Looks like it would have been a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Wishing I were in Texas...

So Curtis, that thing in the background that says Yamaha, is it used to mix your resin with?

Not big screen TV's, that's the parking lot! Eugene had some beautiful "stuff" and was very busy selling it! What you see of the shop is only about 1/3. It is definetly a wood workers dream. If you get a chance you gotta attend a Central Texas GTG....and the BBQ is good too!

Thanks, Eugene! Some good pics in there. And a good reminder of why meetings like this are important. Good exchange of info, etc.


So what did I get out of the meeting? 1) Got to make new friends. 2) Learnd some things and 3) I didn't think it possible, but I think Curtis actually convinced me to switch to Alumilite.

Too bad Texas is so far away. Looks like lots of good demos, learning and things to buy.
