Chairmans Reports 2008
June 2008
Our June meeting, the first after our AGM was another successful evening.
Jason Breech from Administer tools demonstrated how to make a beautiful round box with a square lid.
Jason’s attention to detail and description of the way he achieves his results kept everyone’s interest.
The very high glass like finish achieved with polishing mops and compounds was quite amazing.
Jason brought with him a large number of boxes off all shapes and sizes for us to look at. The thing I noticed most about them was, they all had the same super finish.
This has given me food for thought; maybe I will have to consider working down to finer than 80 grit paper in the future.
Next month we will be having a demonstration from Chris Eagles. Many of you will have seen Chris demonstrating at Yandles. Chris is a very clever woodturner and demonstrator so this promises to be another good night. Chris is also this years Chairman of the AWGB. If you want any info about the AWGB Chris is the man to ask.
Some members still have not renewed their membership for this year. This is very important as the money we raise this year pays for next year’s demonstrators.
We still need more pics for our gallery.
Some pics from Les Cumming,Dennis Cox & Alan Wigmore are being added to our gallery this month three very talented turners and well worth looking at.
It would be nice to get some feedback about our website from either members or non-members. Any comments good or bad please emails me at g.foweraker@sky.com
George B Foweraker Chairman.
