President’s Report
Rusty has a
notebook for sign-up for small demonstrations or suggestions, for following
meetings. These demos should be held to about 5 to 10 minutes each. You should
also mark down if you need a lathe for what you want to do.
Librarian’s
Report
There is
nothing new to report. However, there are always books and videos on
woodworking projects and instructions on the use of the different tools used.
Communications
Balloons
Over Niagara is an event being held on July 27-29. Anyone interested in
participating or going should contact Kathleen Saunders @716/614-6201. There

There is
also an all day demo in Pembroke on Sat. July 28. The amount for this is

Old Business
Last
month it was decided we get some prices for the lathe and tools mentioned in
the grant we received. Jake asked Rockler to give us some prices. They are as
follows:
Jet
Lathe @ $594.99
Drill
Chuck @ $27.59
Mores
Taper @$13.20
Talon
Chuck @ $204.00
These
items total $839.78. Our grant was for $850.00, so we are within the boundaries
of the grant. Rich made the motion to buy the Jet Lathe. Barb seconded the
motion. Motion carried.
Jake
moved to buy a magnetic light from the clubs account. Brian seconded the
motion. Motion carried.
Jake
will pick up the lathe and deliver it to Barb’s Barn. Rick Lawrence will look
at the cabinate and make sure everything is solid. Rick Miaki will pick up the
light. Barb will take care of the lathes
It
was also suggested that a list of rules be made up for the proper and careful
use of the machines. This is so items used are taken care of properly. Jerry
Rucker suggested a demo on lathe care and maintenance and proper use might be a
good idea.
Rick
has the sign up for the fair. Pat has a sign up sheet for the picnic. Please
sign up for these activities so we have a good idea of the people involved.
New

DEMO
Gary Jones
gave a demonstration on making necklace pendants and a buffing demo. The
intricacy of the pendants was amazing and fascinating. Buffing is an important
part of finishing any project. Thanks Gary for a great demo.
