The steering committee met last night to plan the next two meetings February and March. It was a fruitful one and plan on attending for your own edification.
This months challenge is make an item that is primarily made on the lathe fit together in some way. The parts cannot be permanently fixed together. Any thing glued together does not count. A box with a slip fit or threaded lid is OK. The project must have at least two parts or more. Remember quality and how these parts fit together and interact with each other for the judging. Winner will receive a gift certificate for Packard.
Don't forget that the AAW Symposium will be in Louisville Thursday June 22 thru Saturday the 24th. Plan to attend and make reservations early. There will be 30 world class turners, door prizes five 2436 Oneway lathes will be given away and fifty $100 dollar gift certificates from Packard Woodworks.

We will be having a discussion with members about Clearing the Air in your shop so bring in your ideas for the discussion, your method for removing dust from the air. Send your good ideas to Danny for on the website.
Bring in your wood for the wood auction it is a money maker for the club. Last month we made $70 for in our account.
Remember we will be having our March meeting at Blackwater Tool and are asking members to car pool if you can since parking will be scarce and we will need the parking for people coming to buy our turnings. Thank You.
Details for Blackwater if you want to set up a table to display your work to show it. You will be responsible for providing your own tables and chairs. If you have a small 10X10 tent or a large umbrella for shade you may set them up to protect you from the sun and we hope there is no rain. The hours will be from 9 am to 3 pm. We will be sharing the day with the Flor-a-Bama Cutups they will be set up with us, so plan on spending the day with us. See you there.
Nice selection for our wood auction. Keep bringing the wood it keeps our members turning.
Nice entry Gary. Good combination.
Gary's show and tell items different designs inspiring.
