The next meeting will be at my place in San Ramon in August.
The San Francisco Pen Show is the 28th - 30th of August, so that weekend is out. I thought I would start this thread as we consider which weekend would work for the most people.
Topics of interest gathered from last meeting: (please add a topic if you like)
Kitless Pens - 101 resources, getting started, basic concept and approach.
(I have collected a whole lot of information on the subject and have tried my hand at kitless pen making. It can be intimidating, but I hope to present something that will narrow things down and simplify the process.)
If you want to study up on the subject, the following thread is a great start
http://www.penturners.org/forum/f56/threading-using-taps-dies-131653/
We can have other things going on for those not interested in kitless... such as... (plenty of options - so chime in)
Turning spheres? (I have a jig)
Stabilizing with the Cactus Juice? (Curtis' invention)
Pen photography tips? ( I have a light tent )
Tips on getting published? (if you haven't already and are so inclined)
Marketing and website sales? (plenty of experience by members)
Making a watch part pen?
We have plenty of time to chime in on dates and interests.. so let the fun begin!!
