SAPFM – ORV Chapter,

MAJOR CHANGE OF PLANS

Rio Grande University will not have their woodworking program this up coming school year.  So, we had to change our meeting place to the Woodcraft Store in Columbus, OH and we also had to delay the meeting by two weeks.

Also, Eric Matson was going to do the Sunday program on period chair construction.  He is moving back to his home town and will not be presenting on Sunday.  Do I have a volunteer how would be will to present chair construction?  It has also been suggested that we have a group discussion on chair construction, and including the presentation of the jigs that you use.

I also want to publicly thank Eric Matson for all of his support that he has given our Chapter over the last 10 years.  Thanks!!!!!!!!

I am planning on using the hotel listed below, and set up a group block early next week.

Cheers,
David

Proposed AGENDA

SATURDAY, October 14

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
