SAPFM ? ORV Chapter,
The second Spring 2012 Meeting has been set for Saturday April 28 at Brian Neeley?s workshop in Lancaster, Ohio. There will be a $10 fee to pay for Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton?s traveling expenses.
At the present time, we do not have a program setup on Sunday. I assume that we will decide for sure at the first Spring meeting in late March and set the possible Sunday agenda at that time.
As usual, I will need a head count of who is planning to attend so that we can get the right amount of food.
Also, this will be a busy time for Brian Neeley. So I think he will be selling some air dried lumber, but you had better give him a call first.
Brian?s shop will be open at 7 am and closes at 10 pm-ish. It will be open on Friday, Saturday. If anyone wants to come early or stay late, you are welcome.
I have received a group rate from the Baymont and we will have plenty of rooms.
Again, this meeting will be free to all SAPFM dues paying members. The proposed agenda is listed below. If you have a friend who is thinking about joining SAPFM but just isn?t sure, bring them along. This meeting may help them decide.
Thanks,
David

Proposed AGENDA
SATURDAY, April 28, 2012
1. Open doors at 10:00am
Arrive, relax, have some coffee
2. Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00am ? 12:00pm
The ?show and tell? is an ice breaker. Please bring anything you would like to show off. If you have a special piece, a project or even a jig, please bring them. For those who haven?t attended a previous meeting, this is a quick introduction, a display of your skills, interests, projects both past and present, jig, etc. It can even be a request for help in a particular area. After we go around the room, we will break for 30 min. During this break, you can seek out the other members who have similar interest and/or have already built a project/jig you want to build. This break will give you the opportunity to meet and establish a new friendship, pick their brains, and continue communicating with them after the meeting. This is extremely helpful for highly specialized niches, like inlays, marquetry, carving, Bombay chest, etc.
2a) Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00 - 11:30am
Name, where you live, your past and present projects, classes, and/or your particular interest and your Show & Tell item if you brought one. ?
2b) Break to discuss Show & Tell one-on-one, 11:30am-12:00pm
Also, we will have another swap meet. If you have got something to sell or trade, please bring it.
3. Lunch, 12:00 ? 1:00pm
The Neeley?s will be taking care of lunch arrangements.
4. Demonstrations
4a. Jeff Headley and Steve Hamilton talk about Highboys along with jigs and fixtures especially scrapers that they use to profile wood.
