Announcements
Jim Hilburger took charge of the meeting early to
present the “Jim Hilburger Giving Tree Award.” This is an award that is based
on the book The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
It is an award that is given to a recipient that
exemplifies the essence of the book; a person who gives to others without
thought of praise or reward; he or she gives of their time and talent, just
because it is what they believe should be done. It is what makes them happy, and it is a selfless act of kindness
to their fellow members and colleagues. This recipient was chosen by the committee
of past recipients, which at this time is two; Jim Hilburger and Barb Berger.
It is not an award that is given out yearly; only when such a person shows his
or her giving nature to all, and shows their worthiness of this honor. The
person who the committee thought was deserving of this special honor is Paul
Mazuchowski.
A heartfelt congratulation is extended to you
Paul. You may not think you deserve this, but your actions and thoughtfulness
prove you wrong.
Librarian, Paul Boland reported that there is more
activity at the Library lately.
Vice President, Ron Ellis announced that Ron Hudson
will be doing the demo in
February. He will share how to turn bracelets.
He is also looking for demonstrators for future
meeting. Don’t be shy step right up and share your talents and skills.
Dues are due by February meeting.

Jim
Schnellinger, a member of Turners 2 and Pembroke Turners Club, was the
demonstrator. He showed us how he turns
pendants. It was also a demonstration of offset turning. The pendants are good
sellers at the fair. Thank You Jim for your time and talent. It was a very
informative and well presented demonstration. You made it look easy and
something most of us can do.
ELMER’S CORNER: Apply Wipe-on Poly
with Cotton Pads and Pantyhose
Found in
Feb 2010 issue of Woodworker’s Journal.
Instead of
balled-up cotton rags to apply wipe-on poly, the contributor of this tip
discovered a much better applicator. All you need are a bag of those
inexpensive, circular make-up remover pads and some old knee-high
pantyhose. Slip 2 or 3 pads of the
cotton pads inside the stocking and wrap up the excess. The cotton accepts a
good charge of poly that is still easy to control, and the pantyhose keeps the
cotton fiber out of the finish coat. It also lays down a nice, level coating
with out streaks.
Respectfully
submitted,
Muriel
