Question raised, "Is the club interested in purchasing
the 2007 AAW Symposium DVD for the club library?"
Show and Tell items brought by various club members:
 
Ed Glenn, professional wildlife call turner was the
demonstrator for "Building A Segmented Vessel". He distributed a hand-out at the beginning of his
demonstration. The demo began with graph paper being passed out to all
members. Ed explained how to design and
lay out a segmented vessel. The group
was divided into teams who then began assembling/gluing individual segments
that Ed had pre-cut and brought for the demo.
As each "ring" was assembled and glued to the preceding ring,
it was placed on the lathe and turned.
Because of time constraints, the last two rings were glued only. Linda Sue took them with her to finish the
turning and bring the completed vessel back to the next meeting.
Thanks Ed.
Meeting adjourned around 5pm.
