MEETING REMINDER - Our August 2025 meeting will be at the IBEW hall (2901 Farabaugh Lane) on August the 13th, at 6:30 pm.
----------------------
I want to thank Russ for brining and demonstrating a variety of embellishment tools and test blocks for everyone to try out at our July meeting. Much interest was generated, and a good learning experience was had by all. (I had to go for a Sorby Rotary tool afterwards.)
August Demonstration: …
Our August demonstration will be an interactive session on “Sharpening”. Everyone is encouraged to bring gouges, skews, and parting tools they would like to show, have questions about or learn methods for sharpening them. (Or have them sharpened.) We will have different sharpening systems there to demonstrate and use. This will be a shared hands-on interactive session. Everyone is welcome to bring and demonstrate (or learn about) your own sharpening system.
Future Demonstrations and Challenges. We are looking additional ideas for future Demonstrations and Demonstrators as well as Challenges for 2026,,, so come with your ideas and plan to share. Russ will be collecting your ideas and preferences.
State Fair. We will review plans for our State Fair booth Aug. 23 and 24. Details will be shared at our meeting.
Dinner and Social: The location for "Dinner and Social" will be Toni & Joe’s Pizzeria located at 2039 Columbia Dr. at 4:30 as usual.
