Regrets: Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Martel
Some discussion on whether we should suspend membership for Misters Hiltz and MacLean and Miles MacDonald. We finally agreed on giving them a second chance to redeem themselves but if they don't show for next meeting ,woe betide them!
Rick continues work on a big bowl using the bowl lathe. Leo adjusted the rollers-trued them up
Leo has completed a lovely, stylistic, tall vase using a silver inlay (aluminum actually)
(Photos available later)
Paul brought a small vase that was gold painted which Leo liked
Paul had a large bowl that had lots of epoxy fill and uses a sharp scraper to clean up the outside and remove the epoxy. Since the bowl was laying around the shape altered a little and a 3-jaw chuck will be needed to mount it for turning the inside. The outside is all finished
Leo Advised spraying on a good shellac coat BEFORE filing in with epoxy
Robert is working on making his own musical instrument using discarded hard drives, fiddle strings and sundry other parts...very mysterious but he seems to think it will work.
Paul's Gold painted piece
Paul's vase: Black acrylic paint/whiting mix; overpainted with a gold sparkle and then shellac
