The meeting dated for the Fall meeting are November 10 & 11, 2012. 

As usual, I will need a head count of who is planning to attend so that we can get the right amount of food. 

The shop will be open at 10 am and closes right after the meeting. 

Again, this meeting will be free to all dues paying SAPFM members. The proposed agenda is listed below. 

Thanks,

Proposed AGENDA

SATURDAY, November 10, 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.

For our upcoming Fall meeting at Rio Grande, we will be doing several hands-on events to prepare wood stock.  You will need to bring several items with you if you want to fully participate in the hands-on demonstration, and don?t worry if you don?t have everything.  We can share.  Suggested items to bring:

1.      A rough sawn piece of wood, say 7? by 15?.  (It should not be too warped because we want to be able to finish it within the time we have.) 
2.      Scrub plane (#40) or Jack plane (#5)
3.      Trying/Jointer plane (#6 to #8)
4.      Smoother (#3 to #4?)
5.      Marking gauge
6.      Winding sticks

Optional
7.      Scraper plane (for curly grain, or as Glen Jewel says ?squirrely grain?)
8.      Sharpening equipment for plane blades
9.      Sharpening jigs, or things that you use.

The first hands-on demo is sharpening plane blades on Saturday.  I would like to ask that everyone sharpen their blades as best as they can before you come to the meeting.  This should help reduce the amount of sharpening needed at the meeting, and help us to concentrate our efforts on those that needs the hands-on sharpening instruction. 

On Sunday we will flatten and surface the rough board.
