Hampton Roads VA Member Gathering

[PTownSubbie]

I know several people have voiced a desire to have another get together. The last one was great!

Anyone interested? Lets look at the weekend of 14 or 21 May. This will give time to organize and figure out what we want to talk about.

Post your interest in dates and possible topics.

[PTownSubbie]

Hasn't really been much response quite honestly. Well, not as much as I expected like last time.

I am still game but got busy with some other things....

Let me know who is interested....

I am planning on being there. I am going to let a couple turners @ work know as well. Anyone do segmenting that can give a brief demo or maybe sharpening? I can bring my worksharp. Please PM you address.

No problems on the other turners but I don't want to turn this into too much of a turning meeting but want to keep pens the main focus if possible. I am however open to talking about both of those subjects because they do pertain to penturning and I am interested in seeing the Worksharp. Been thinking of getting one.

John does a lot of segmenting work and I have done some.

Thanks Fred

Just wanted to say thanks again for having us over. Again I learned alot. Some of the casting stuff reinforced what we talked about before. Really enjoyed the cartridge pen demo. I heard about it but I am more of a hands on visual guy. :wink:

Mike,

I had a great time also! Thanks to all that attended and those that didn't because you had something else come up. I know you wanted to be there!

We can have another soon! Start looking at your calendar and we can see if everyone can support a more frequent schedule.

 

[AKBeaver]

Fred,
Thanks for hosting the meeting and for the casting demo's. Hopefully you can post pics of the outcome. It was great meeting everyone!

I mentioned to my buddy about doing feather pens. He gave me some turkey feathers. I don't know if they will work or not. You guys can have some if you want.

 

[navycop]

Fred, any pictures on the blanks from the casting demo?

 

[PTownSubbie]

Mike,

I left town a couple days after our get together. I will try to get some pics when I get back home.
