The IKI Woodturner's Club opened our meeting at the Morningside Church.
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.
Our meeting ended at 3:15pm.
See you next meeting. Don't forget to bring your showpieces for exhibit at the Newburgh Central Library!
And, as always, keep turning!
Dan

The IKI Woodturners Club convened at 1:30pm, Feb 9, 2014.
Welcome to our visitors: Fred Crooks and Tom Ubelhor! - Thanks for coming and we look forward to having you back again.
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.
Roger Domina announced he had contacted the Louisville, KY, Woodturners club and confirmed that on occasion they have Saturday turning demo's. Their club has added Roger to their e-mail distribution list so we will be advised of upcoming events.
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!
