What would you like to see?? Zoom meetings with JohnU, Mark Dreyer and Ed

[ed4copies]

Once a month, Mark, John and Ed get together and host a zoom meeting.

We have several programs planned before the end of the year, but there is always room for more information.

So, what questions do you have?? We will try to incorporate some answers!!

Thanks for any input,

Ed
& John and Mark

hmm, I'm going to have to ponder this a bit. Right off the top of my head

- I loved the small turnings and holiday focus one you had last fall and would like to see a little more around that if you feel other things are still to be covered
- what goes into pen design development? The Band-It pen is a new product, how long did it take to develop and what was the process. I've heard more than once about "gee, I wish that kind of pen existed". This does not have to be a "long segment" but would be interesting. (quotes are pun intended)
- In the opinion of the presenters, how do you match blanks to various component sets and finish types? (I hand the blank to my wife and she chooses before I make the pen)
- when cutting blanks out of a burl or highly figured piece of lumber how do you decide where and how to cut it? I've done this a couple times and always feel like there may be a better way to do it

Darn! I missed those Ed. I did see one that JohnU did. Very informative!
PS. Is there a mailing / notification list? I drop by almost every day and at least check in.

I totally enjoyed the sessions I was able to watch, but your time for the session plus the time zone shift make it near impossible for me to watcch them live anymore. I wish they could be available on YouTube or through your website for viewing afterward. John & Mark are great - they do a wonderful job. Thanks for hosting them.

My two ideas - John does great feather blanks. Also I am seeing a lot of blanks incorporating 3d printing. Maybe something on those lines?
