December 14, 2014 1:30pm
Our club meeting opened with a report on the status of displaying our turnings at the SW Indianan Ar's Council in Evansville. Rich Couture reported that slow progress is being made in this regard as the coordinator for the Arts Council has delayed establishing a firm scheduled. Rich may talk to the president of the Arts Council to bring to conclusion if we will, or will not be displaying our turnings.
As a reminder, club dues for 2015 are $25.00 ($5 going to the church). Please plan to be prepared to provide your payment to Susan Hansen at the January meeting.
The Tennessee Woodturners Annual Symposium is scheduled for January 30 & 31, 2015 in Franklin, TN. They are well known for having an excellent show, so make your plans to be there soon. Early registration ends December 31,2014.
Rusty Welborn representing the he nominating committee for the 2015 club officers, reporting that the current officers agreed to serve in the same capacity for 2015. A motion was made, seconded, & voted on approving the following as officers for 2015: Susan Hansen - Treasurer; Dan Davis - Secretary, Dennis Young, Vice President/Program Chair, and Roger Domina - President.
The following also agreed to serve for another year: Roster Chair - Tom Rusche; Media - Bob Blanford; and Library - Scott Allen. In addition, our thanks to Flint Bone for his willingness to continue with our distribution list and administration of the IKI Blog.
Jerry Ziliak,Central American Hardwoods, has tentatively offered to do a presentation about his exotic wood business at his showroom in January. Roger will follow up with Jerry and advise if we will meet at Central American Hardwoods location for our January meeting versus the church.
Jim Scheu,Dusty Wood Warehouse, has tentatively agreed to attend our February meeting to discuss his business and offer some of his woods for sale.
In discussions, members reported that Triple A Hobby, Hobby Town, & Harbor Freight all have good prices on ca glue.
Dan Davis did a demonstration on turning a pewter finial. Good job, Dan.
In our show & tell segment, a mallet surfaced which was somewhat similar to the legendary mallet displayed at the 2014 "Wonders In Wood" show in October. Since details about the original plans for the mallet were sketchy at best (some say hoarded), an investigation followed. We found the original plans are in the 2004 Wood Magazine issue 156. If anyone needs a copy & can't find it, Dan will provide.
Please let Dennis Young know if you are willing to demo at the January, February, or March meetings.
Next meeting: January 11, 2015.
Keep turning.

IKI WOODTURNER CLUB MEETING MINUTES MAY 18,2014
Welcome to our guest; Sid Nelson! Come on back!
Thanks to everyone that participated in the Newburgh Central Library turning display. It was a great display of work and received many positive comments.
The Tri State Woodcarvers accepted our application to participate in this years "Wonders in Wood" event scheduled for October. In addition, they agreed to accommodate our request to have our display table located next to our lathe demonstrations. They did however, ask that we have a shield in place to prevent wood chips from flying into the spectator area, as well as to meet safety requirements. The club agreed to investigate options to accommodate their request. Dan Davis agreed to look into the possibility of making a plexiglass protector to go in front of demonstration lathes and to meet safety requirements.
We had a discussion about the possibility of making turned objects for veterans, spouses of soldiers deployed, etc. The group mulled over what objects would be of most benefit and left it that members were asked to think about it & bring their ideas to the next meeting.
Don Ile will demonstrate his home made segmented bowl sled/cutter as well as his press for segmented bowls at our June meeting.
Brian Hart did a demonstration on chatter & other decorative embellishment tools. Well done Brian - thanks!.
Don Taylor showed his hollow coring system using 1" square tubing and Sid Nelso his plastic flower, etc.
Thanks guys.

Scott Allen showed the group the new "Steady Rest" recently purchased. Looked very slick and at a decent price.
Don Lile is looking for a good used lathe for the shop at their winter home in Florida. Preferably a PowerMatic, however any good solid lathe will be considered. Please let Don know if you know of one that comes available.
Eric Gourieux demonstrated his big boring bar system to hollow out large vessels. Terrific demonstration.
Meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m. after which members placed their turnings on display at the Central Library in Newburgh. Thanks to all that are participatating - a fabulous display and good visibility for our group. As a reminder, they are to be removed by May 4th.
Next month's demonstration will be Brian Hart demonstrating texturing and use of a chatter tool.
Keep turning!

Business:
Welcome to K.E. for joining us this month. We hope you'll come back!
Our demonstration lathe system was improved with the purchase of a heavy-duty extension cord, electrical strip, and drive spur. Costs were kept under the estimated amount.
Our club received a letter from the Tri-State Woodcarvers Club inviting us to exhibit at the Wonders in Wood Show and Sell scheduled for October 25 & 26, 2014 at the National Guard Armory. We have been a mainstay at this event for several years. Keith Armstrong suggested we request our table be placed next to our demonstration lathes. Roger Domina will make this request when sending in our registration and fee of $30 for an 8' table.
The Newburgh Central Library will display turnings by our club from April 13 to May 4, 2014. As our next meeting is scheduled for April 13, all those wishing to have their turnings displayed are asked to bring them to the meeting. We'll plan to conclude the meeting by 3:00 pm and then head to the library to set up the displays. All those planning to display turnings are to get the title of their piece(s), type of wood, and name to Roger Domina in advance of April 13th such that the name tents can be printed rkdomina@yahoo.com An example is:"Square Edged Bowl", Maple and Wenge, Dallas James.
Rich Couture was recently in contact with a Jasper, Indiana saw mill. They are wanting a demonstration of woodturning techniques and will let Rich know of the date. A number of members indicated an interest in participating.
Dennis Young will contact Louis Duncan about the possibility of hosting the April club meeting as Eric Gourieux will need a big lathe for his demonstration. Brian Hart agreed to do a demonstration on chatter tools at the May meeting.
Susan Hansen will plan to request our meeting notice be placed in the Evansville paper going forward.
Demonstration: Roger Domina demonstrated a "poor man's sphere jig" he made; as well as the use of the Beal Buffing system.
Very good show and tell this month. Thanks to all that brought in their turnings.

Dan Davis gave a brief update on the Tennessee Woodturners Symposium recently held in the Nashville area.
Business: We discussed donating five dollars from each member's dues to the church, which has so generously donated their meeting room to host our monthly meetings. A motion was made & seconded to donate this amount. The vote was unanimous.

The Central Library in Newburgh will display our turnings from April 13 to May 4, 2014. We anticipate being able to display 30 to 40 turnings. As you identify what you plan to display let Roger know the title of the piece and kind of wood, for purposes of placing this information along with your name on the "name tent" that will go with each turning.
The club voted to sell the stand previously used with our mini-lathe for $100.00. Susan Hansen made the purchase.
We discussed the insurance policy our club currently holds through the AAW. A motion was made & seconded to retain the "Group Level" policy at the same $90 costs as last year. A vote approved the motion.
Dennis suggested we buy a live center, power strip, & extension cord for the clubs mini-lathe. After discussion, a motion was made & seconded to buy these items with a limit not to exceed $100.00. The vote was approved by our membership.
Demonstration: Keith Armstrong demonstrated how to make a goblet with captive rings. This demonstration was extremely well done. It was enthusiastically received by our members. Well done, Keith!
