Blalack showed club members some scrollsaw work that he did for some of
his friends who attended an auctioneer's school. Each student
auctioneer is required to bring in something that they can auction off
with proceeds being donated. These are of red oak, birch plywood
backing, oak stain and two coats of lacquer. The scrollsawed
portion is cut with the blade at a 3 degree tilt using a #5 blade.

Lewis
Vallette shows off some bowls that he crafted. The tall
chalice-like bowl is made of glued up and stacked rings of 24 pieces per
ring. Mr. Modest says there is nothing to it...we'll see....

John
Holden made this superbly crafted game table of walnut, mahogany and
maple. He bandsawed the legs to shape. The checkered squares
are glued to plywood but not to each other. John says his secret
came from a book in the club library. The drawer has a secret latch
where he can hide the checkers...or was it to hide the chess
pieces...???

These
benches of salvaged naughty pine ... uh...knotty...were crafted by Marcus Brun.
The challenge was to strategically place the knots for show. The
finish is polyurethane. A tip of the green award for Mr. Brun for
recyling lumber.

| Jack,
the master period woodworker, Hutchison points out how he crafted
the raised panel door that graces the front of this 18th century
commode. The commode was used as a cabinet although one member
said it was used to store the chamber pot, hence why it is called a
commode.
The raised panel veneered
with crotch walnut floats in the framed door. The hand made ball
finial hinges are imported from England. A cherry plywood panel backs up
the commode. The sides are dovetailed to the top. |

| A
poker party benefited from Ted Ojevich's craftsmanship. Ted built
this to accomodate chips, cards and a rule book. The sliding front
pieces, that give access to the supplies, slide behind the supplies to
be out of the way. I'll wager his buddies tried to double or
nothing him out of it. |

 How
many of you went immediately to your shop and made sure you had the
right kind of safety glasses? Ahhhh....a good show of hands.
Mike Turner gave a captivating talk on shop safety providing numerous
war stories and video taped graphics of actual accidents. Safety
starts with the right mindset -- your body follows your mind. Even
with years of experience many veterans make mistakes because of
complacency, they let their guard down. Remorse stays with you for
the rest of your life. Don't use the wrong or insufficient protection
either .
