Thanks to Ed Brown the June meeting was exceptional. As always Ed thanks for stepping in and helping us out.
August Meeting – John Underhill will be hosting this meeting and as always you don't want to miss this one. We have a video by Dick Sing. While not pen related this one is something we should all know and understand – maintaining your chucks. Dick will walk you through a variety of chucks that are on the market and when to use what. The video ends with Dick taking apart a chuck, cleaning it, and reassembling it. This is worth the price of admission.
This will be a Zoom meeting and if interested I will invite you. Either email me at chicagopenturners@yahoo.com (and I will confirm) or PM me with your email address so I can send an invite. I will start the meeting one hour early to allow for testing the connection and socializing. See you there.
BIG NEWS – If things do not change, we will be back LIVE in October. We will keep you up to date as we get closer.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING THE EMAIL INVITES YOU WILL BE CONTINUING TO GET THE EMAILS.
August 21, 2021
All meetings are from 10 am - 1 pm - WILL BE VIRTUAL STARTING AT 9:30 just for socialization
December (2021) Christmas Challenge:
A total of $25 (kit and blank). Make the best pen you can, and the winner gets the glory (and the prizes). I encourage to use some technique you either learned or were inspired to try. We will vote as a group. This year's winner was a nice watch parts pen.
Tips and Tricks:
Please bring your tips and tricks for all of us to share and learn. Last month we had a few but always looking for more. Even if small – it might be something someone else is struggling with.
Show and Tell:
Please bring any pens you either loved making and just want to show off / are having trouble with a techniques and want help / want feedback on / or just want to put on a table. This will be an open forum to help each other. You will find two things out – one helping others is fun and two you know more than you think you do and others will benefit.
Looking for demonstrators and / or topics. If you have any interest in doing a demo email me. Also if you have suggestions for a demo you would like to see email me back.
Thanks,
Mark
