Nashville Area?

[jondavidj]

Hi,

Is there anyone out there in the Nashville - Franklin, TN area? I have been turning for years but would like to make some friends with the same hobby....

Come on over to Unionville just 25 minutes from Franklin, We can turn some for the troops...Drop me a PM

I like THAT idea David.

I'm not too far away in Crossville. If you ever feel like driving up to the plateau your always welcome. I too would like to meet some in the pen turning hobby.

I'm in Smyrna, not too far away. I get out into Nashville from time to time.

 

[jondavidj]

Thanks David - I am from Shelbyville. My parents lived in Unionville and we lived off of Midland Rd. Definitely could come turn...

Jim - thanks. I'd like to get together. I just looked at this while I am at lunch. Will post later today!

We live in Franklin. I sure wish that I had time to visit with others in the area. It seems as if my schedule is never my own, however.

Hi, my name is Mike Taylor and I am in Nashville. I have been making pens for a couple of years now but that is about the extent of my turning except for the occasional bottle stopper. I am retired but am helping a church with a building program so that is keeping me busier than I really want. I have always wondered why there is no IAP chapter in or around Nashville but there are several turning clubs I have heard about.

Why don't we plan a get together in Franklin? Near the Woodcraft store (Rte.65 & Rte. 96), there are many restaurants. In their little strip mall, there is Mexican, a Pizza joint, but many others very close by.

 

[OLDMAN5050]

That would work for me....

 

[Bob Wemm]

Can I come too??
Might be a bit late though. LOL

Bob.

 

[jondavidj]

Works for me too, when would be a good time, Saturday or Sunday? I would love to get together.

 

[preacherman]

I could make it on a Saturday. Sundays are no go for me.:biggrin:

 

[jimm1]

I'll jump in and say this Saturday, 7/25.

 

[jondavidj]

Jim - I'm going out if town this weekend. Can we make it Saturday, August 2nd? I would love to attend. Thoughts everyone?

 

[preacherman]

I can't make it the next three Saturdays. Family stuff already planned next two weekends and a wedding the following. The earliest I could make would be the 3rd Saturday in August 8/16.

 

[OLDMAN5050]

No Sundays, God's day.. most any Saturday would work. Maybe someone can do a demo?

 

[jondavidj]

Sounds fun. I can do a demo on how to make the steampunk blanks if that interests everyone. I can do most pen kits.

I can get together next Saturday and the 16th. If we make it the 16th, we can do the demo at my home and I could have lunch brought in for everyone.

 

[jondavidj]

Ok, confirmation that August 16th at 11:00....

I sent an email chain to everyone on the thread. If anyone else is in the Nashville - Williamson County, TN area, you most welcome to attend. Please let me know and I will send you my address.

 

[Woodkiller]

I look foreword to it and expect it will be a great time for all. Thank you for hosting this.

 

[jondavidj]

Reminder.....August 16th....please let me know if you need directions....

 

[Woodkiller]

Had a great time with Jon & Jim today. Maybe next time we can get more to come, but life gets in the way sometimes. Jim & I got to try our hand at steampunk blanks and had a great time doing it. We also got to cast a few blanks and had a great time doing that too. Jon is a great and generous host, openly sharing of his time, materials, & talents. Thank you Jon for hosting and I look foreword to the next time.

Mike.
