Naqvi, Murphy, Hiltz, Frank Chiasson, Rick, Lawrence and new member Henry Debison
Paul discussed the drum project at Lee Valley.
We discussed the carbide hollowing tool that Paul had bought. It needs a bearing adapted to it to prevent “dig in”
Leo went through the compression chuck memchanism again and how it shouldd be fitted on the lathe. The glued up bushing-faceplate assembly should be fitted tightly onto a spindle on the lathe and then the wooden faceplate turned on this spindle so that it will be correctly centered.
Leo went through the process of preparing the wood blank for the pepper mill and started one.
When using a Forstner bit to drill a large hole, cut a cone in the end of the workpiece first so that the bit will fit in to the center exactly right., thus preventing wobble.
Lawrence collected dues and we agreed to have a business meeting next Tusesday at Paul’s home on 4 Silverwood drive at 7 p.m.
