next meeting?

[seamus7227]

has anyone put any thought into the next meeting date?

 

[MarkHix]

after the freeze..........?????

 

[captbogy]

I'm in Flower Mound - just joined IAP. Where do you usually meet? Both of you guys do beautiful work by the way!

 

[Phunky_2003]

At the last meeting Roger (Qballizhere) was going to check with Craig about hosting at woodworld. Now that wood world is up for sale that plan may be delayed or put on hold until the sell and someone can talk to the new owner (s). Maybe someone can host at there place again? 3 months would put the next meeting sometime in mid Sept.

 

[BlackPearl]

Try Craig anyway, I bet there will not be a problem.

I have heard a rumor that the people in talks to buy the place are turners also. BUT that is only a RUMOR

 

[Phunky_2003]

I had also heard that rumor. I tried to get my brother to loan me the money, he just laughed and changed the subject lol.

 

[qballizhere]

If wood world cant do it I have room but the a/c shop is 12 x 17 the other shop with no a/c is 30 x 50. Also for the ones west of FT Worth it would be a heck of a drive. I'm out by cedar creek lake. Think one person needs to handle the logistics of where and who is interested in hosting meetings.

I thought Lyle Walden volunteered to coordinate??

Tom

 

[qballizhere]

I know we talked about it and couldn't remember who it was.

 

[Phunky_2003]

We also need to come up with some demos. If you can post some ideas on what you would like to see, then we can work out someone to do the demos.

I can demo casting colored blanks and clear casting. Might be able to talk Seamus into demoing a snake skin blank. I have just restocked on silmar and can bring the supplies for casting.

That may be subject to where the meeting is, it does smell and they may not want it sticking up their place.

Any other ideas?

 

[qballizhere]

color and clear casting would be great. If the weather keeps up will not need the a/c shop

 

[TomW]

I can do a powder coating demo if there is interest...

Tom

I'd be interested in both the demo and possibly having you powder coat some tubes for me.

 

[seamus7227]

Dang i forgot about this thread, and i started it, duh! LOL. I wouldnt mind doing a demo on snakeskin blanks, but if Don Ward can make this one, he might be interested in doing that since he successfully pulled off a great demo at SWAT using snakeskins! I still need to work on my demo skills anyway.

Sorry guys, life's gotten real busy for me with the addition of 4 new areas (added to my existing job, not in place of!!) to manage at work, including our Illinois office. I'm stacked eyeball deep until at least after the middle of October, and I'm hoping then it will slow down to about 90mph..... though it may just be more of the same for the foreseeable future. I keep getting text messages from my shop, letting me know how much the tools miss seeing me, and asking when I'm going to be able to spend some time with them......

 

[TomW]

Lyle, Understood, work pays for toys!...

OK SOMEBODY VOLUNTEER THEIR SHOP FOR THE NEXT MEETING! I don't mind coordinating, but don't have the space.

Tom

Tom

There is interest.

 

[TomW]

Ok we have interest...now need a location!

Tom

 

[qballizhere]

Well I know wood world was tossed around, but know of a place there is a little drive to get there

 

[qballizhere]

If the weather keeps up could have one on the east side of Dallas.

 

[seamus7227]

Well I know wood world was tossed around, but know of a place there is a little drive to get there

how far?

 

[Phunky_2003]

Who?? Where??

 

[qballizhere]

Its by cedar creek lake.

 

[qballizhere]

About 10 min west of the lake

 

[TomW]

About 10 min west of the lake

Not too far for me!

Tom

 

[Phunky_2003]

Not too far for me either.

 

[bassinhuntin]

Sounds great lets do it. How do I get an email from North Texas chapter members on next meeting time and place. Powder coating is actually my next interest. That would be a good demo. You can get a gun from Harbor Freight for $60 with coupon and powders for $5-6 a pound. Besides I have tried every kind of spray paint and when I glue the skins on the paint comes off or bunches up. Lots of ruined blanks.

 

[qballizhere]

Sounds good to me. What does seamus and don think?

Eric,

We'll post the info here...stay tuned!

I just looked that up on the map, I think it may depend on the date that it falls on. That is quite a drive too:biggrin:

Since we dont have a date, how about proposing one?
Tom

 

[qballizhere]

I was thinking around the 22nd. If some of the people that are out of town and wanted to go to the fair afterwards or the next day its possible.

 

[seamus7227]

thats a bummer, I'll have my kids that weekend, so I won't be able to make it.

OK how about the following weekend the 29th or the week before the 15th.

 

[TomW]

I really would like to get this off high-center, who is with me?? Does the 29th work for anyone? How about Nov 5th??

 

[Phunky_2003]

Any dates are good with me. I just need to know where/when to show up.

 

[BlackPearl]

both are as good for me as any other.

 

[its_virgil]

I will be in Oregon from oct 23 to oct 29. Committed for Oct 22 but open for November as far as I know.

Have the meeting when most can attend. There will not be a date when everyone can make it.

[seamus7227]

my apologies for not seeing these posts already. the weekend of the 29th are clear, but then Don said he couldn't make it. I will typically have my kids on the first, third and fifth weekends of every month. so the 5th of november and the 19th are my weekends with them.dont base the dates around me though.I understand if I can't make it.
