November 13, 2024 Meeting

We have a wonderful meeting planned for next Wednesday, November 13 at 7:00PM,  featuring 3 excellent works from our members!

Jim Braun will bring his finished cherry sideboard in featuring Kumiko decorative elements in the door panels.  Kumiko is the art of cutting, hand planing and fitting thin slats of wood into patterns using pressure only, without adhesives. 

 

Paul Webber will showcase his custom couch potato table utilizing the CNC router with colored epoxy for decorative inlay.  This table will hold all your essentials when viewing your favorite tv shows.  

 

Tim Brosnan will share his candle stand build with us. He built two, one of Cherry and the other in Walnut and was an expansion of his skills on the lathe.  

 

October 9, 2024 Meeting 7:00PM

Hi All,

We have a good meeting planned for next Wednesday, October 9 at 7:00PM.  We  have two presentations lined up for a very informative evening.  Club member Anthony Moreas will share his just finished Philadelphia Style Writing Arm Chair.  Anthony has been involved with Windsor style chairs for a few years now, and this showcases his continued growth in this area.  

 

Club member and VP Rob Hess will share his technique of French Polishing.  This traditional finish requires a few simple ingredients and good old fashioned rubbing to achieve a classic mirror finish that is second to none.  

We want to wish our members who are celebrating a joyous new year and a meaningful fast during the holidays of Rosh Shashanah and Yom Kippur. 

  

Happy Fall Everyone, see you next Wednesday! 

Bob E

September 11, Meeting

Welcome back from our summer break!

Our September meeting will feature some member presentations.   Robert Hemsen is going to present a Reproduction of an 18th Century Mahogany Tuck-Away table.
Marc Gaertner is going to follow, showing the build process of a 6’ Walnut chest of drawers he completed and shipped to CO. This project took a long time, due to the size and then building a plywood box for shipping.

We look forward to seeing everyone!

 

June 12th Meeting

As we have done in the past, the June meeting is ” The Members Exhibition”.  For new members, we encourage everyone to bring in a recent project, either completed or work in progress. It is still okay to bring in an older project, if it was never shown to the group before.

We set the projects up on the tables and once the meeting starts, everyone takes a few minutes to discuss what they brought in. This is always a great way to see what other members are working on.

Before we start that part of the meeting, Club Member Seth Kline is going to do a live spay presentation  / demonstration outside, using water based products from Target Coatings.

 The outside spraying is obviously weather dependent, so if it’s raining Seth will demonstrate other methods that he has perfected to apply the finishes.
