Has anyone in our group done their own threading? I'd love to see that.
Maybe a quick pendant demo if anyone is doing those?
Is anyone good with a plexi finish?
Alton, if I bring some curly maple, would you want to bring your own colorings
to show how you dye your blanks? I know you've done it before, but that one
bears repeating. And since you seem to have been touched by the gods when
it comes to CA, I wouldn't mind watching another demo of that. I'll bring the
materials..
Does anyone make their own blank squaring jigs? A little show-and-tell might help
out other members. Seeing them firsthand is different than reading about them.
More ideas, anyone?
David, welcome to the group. At the next meeting, I am sure someone would be happy to give you a hand with it or i can talk you through it either online or on the phone.High New England group!
Being a new turner I would like to see how to handle voids in course grained woods (example oak).
Thanks

Since my last corispondance I am looking to go both ways the glase smothe finish and to just fill the voides. I have ben succeful in filling tears and small imperfections in some turnings using the dust fron sanding and jel type contact glue. By the way when and ware is the next meeting?
Thanks
And does anyone have an agenda for the September meeting? If you do please post it in the officers area so we can all be on the same page.
That's definately the secretarys job.
Anyone in the New England group doing threading? Volunteer needed.
Yeah, about that.....If anyone takes a couple of minutes and looks at the officers area they might have noticed the post about the president not sure if he was going to make the meeting this month. It's looking more and more like I am not going to be there but things tend to change at the last second sometimes.I have no doubt that the rest of the elected officers can handle a meeting without my presence. If there is anything that needs my attention, call me or send me an email and we will figure it out.hmm.. I thought the president made the agenda.. :tongue:
I do some, but i am not the best at it. I do have all the proper taps for the triple start threads.Anyone in the New England group doing threading? Volunteer needed.

They will work as long as you have the matching tap and dies and aren't trying to mate them up to existing pieces.I don't know that it's so important to have the
proper taps for a demo .. any tap in the right size range would do,
wouldn't it?
