Mark Oriano Refreshments Jean Piotrowski Charlie Felsen Audio/Video Rich Reidell The Round Robin is a chance for members to showcase their skills, as Photographer JimMoloney well as any questions they have. The big attraction was Joe Bottigliere, Workshop Coordinator/Food Critic Charlie James and his tuning clinic. It does demonstrate that, no matter how many times we show how to use a hand plane, it never seems to be THIS MONTH: enough. The SSOW showed some carvings they worked on, the people who make Toys for Tots brought in some samples, and Jim Brown & Norman Bald showed off their considerable skills. NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

SSOW STEVE BLAKELY

he meeting was held a week early because of work that was to be done on the hall next week. Due to the absence of the President and the Vice President, Iris Zimmerman presided over the meeting. There was no Told or new business, nobody had anything to say. Iris brought up that carvers are needed for the Heritage Fair. For Show and Tell most members stated that they were still working on their automaton. It was a short meet- ing but everyone was happy!

ith the unavailability of President Mike Josiah, Bob Urso presided over the meeting. Bob announced that there would be a “Round Robin” tonight. In addition to the club lathe, two members brought their lath- Wes in. There was no new business, there was no old business. Nobody wanted to see anything special. As for the catego- ry, “Does anyone have anything else”, Charlie Felsen spoke about the Atlanta Turning Symposium, saying there was burning; piercing; cardboard turning and air brushing in addition to “regular” turning. He also asked one of the artists who was showing off their burnings (pyrography) where they got the patterns. He was told from designs from the internet. Good bit of information there! Bob Urso spoke of a turned baseball bat that had a ball in the middle of it.

Show and tell was a success. Two members brought in bowls that had done or were working on. Four members showed off pens (yes plural) and one member showed off a . Imagine that, more pens/ that bowls. That has not happened in a long time.

LISA CHUCK BURG

rnold opened up the last meeting before the summer by announcing that our presentator, Rich Macrae, had an accident in his workshop last Sunday and will not give a presentation that night as he is recovering. Rich Asuffered an injury that required 13 stitches. Ed who knows Rich will ask him how long his presentation is and maybe we can combine a lath art presentation with his for the September meeting.

The SIG will not meet during the summer of July and August. The next meeting will be Thursday, September 22nd.

The Chapter Challenge will be Christmas ornaments. The same ornaments can be used for our new collaborative. We plan to show our new collaborative at the show in November. The ornaments cannot be more than 4” in diam- eter or 4” as we discussed and each member should make at least two.

Rolf brought in a giraffe which came from with a broken nose. He asked if anyone recognized the . He has to replace the nose. No one recognized the wood. It was suggested he put it on a bigger base so it won’t topple over.

SHOW and TELL Alain - brought in a scrolled bowl and a sled. Rolf - made a miniature Chinese chariot with a wheel on its side. The wheel is connected to a and rather than a dragon cutout a Santa Claus cutout with an outstretched hand and pointing finger was put on top of the dowel. He then moved the chariot while turning the wheel. As the wheel turned, Santa Claus on

LONG ISLAND WOODWORKERS 11 THE WOODRACK top with its pointing finger should always point in the same direction as the chariot is moving. It didn’t. So back to the drawing board.

Carl - a puzzle box and box. Chuck - some of his wood burnings (Pyrography). Arnold - three trucks and he gave some hints on how to cut the wheels. Arnold asked us to report on Fox Chapel. We agreed that it was worthwhile. Arnold gave a talk on an airbrush which he bought at Harbor Freight. The airbrush was worth buying.

He also discussed schwibbogan which means in German “arch” (a scrolled arch ) He was hoping that someone would try it. They are expense even in Germany which Arnold visited.

See you in September!!!
