Jack
Hutchison
was introduced by John Jackson as a woodworker known locally as well as
nationally. Jack, a long standing member of the Woodworkers club
spoke to members about his collaborative effort with John Fry of
Palmdale, California to craft a Hepplewhite Federal style table. This table
is made of walnut, flame walnut, gorgeous inlays, veneers and some ebony.
************************************************
John
Gay crafted this table from scraps of leftover 5/4 treated pine.
The tiles are secured to cement backing board. John
used Kreg screws versus stainless steel because he wanted the matte
look.

Dennis
Serig shows off his left wing extension to his table saw. Next are
hinged legs. hmmm...is there a right wing coming?
************************************************
Norm
Nichols show members his red oak and black walnut basket. Also
featured is Norm's scrollsawed deer in the woods carved in
basswood. Tung oil and polyurethane finished it.
************************************************
This
stereoscope was cleverly crafted by Rich Thomas but how did he take the
pictures in 3-D? Rich explained how he rigged up a camera stand
with two cameras. He found a formula on the Internet that provides
the distance of the two cameras from each other; a formula based on
distance from the subject. hmmmm...rocket science in woodworking?
************************************************
Steve
Wavro shows members his latest intarsia work. Many pieces of
colored wood went into this project.
************************************************
Denis
Muras used the club's recently purchased digital projection system to
show club members his stereo center project; a project wayyyy to huge to
truck in for show and tell. Denis constructed the stereo center of
weathered pine siding and flooring from an old farmhouse.

Mark
Bolinger updated club members on the progress of the hand plane splinter
group that he sponsors, also making use of the club's digital projection
system.
