Spindle Opportunity shared by Lee Lincoln -
From Jorge Rodriguez.... I am a wood worker, (carvings, furniture, theater rooms, etc), but I don't do turning. I have a project to restore a Grandfather Clock for a customer (Circa-early 1900-probably English/French). One of the spindles was lost or destroyed so I have to re-create either an exact duplicate or replace both with a close resemblance of the missing one. (Hoping not to do the latter).
The material seemed to be either Dark Brown Oak or Mahogany.
I've recreated a pattern and 3-D pictorial for the spindle on ArtCam (so if you have a ShopBot with an indexer, this may be your lucky day)!
What I need is someone who can either produce a close enough blank so I can do the final carvings "or" if you can do the whole thing. I would need a price to do one or th other.
The rough dimensions are 2 1/2 Dx26 1/8"L. I will supply the exact dimensions once you can give me feedback on cost and lead-time for making the spindle.
If interested, I may be reached at (cell 407-928-2382 (may have to leave a message as typically on the road). Or e-mail at: jorgerpdriguez4@mac.com
I am located in Winter Garden, Florida.
Thanks
Jorge Rodriguez

DEMONSTRATION:
Dr. Gene Gross -Project enhancement, decoration, woodburning to hide flaws/splits.
A vasewith length wise, along vertical grain was a great example. Split was the trunk of a cine; burned branches turned a flaw into an attractve asset.
Dr. Gene Gross is a good speaker and handed out safety tips and turning tips as he went along with his central project. He also explained Wood Burning/Decoration rather fully considering the time he had. We have had excellent demonstrators followed by excellent demos.
THE PRESIDENT'S TURN
It is great to see the quality and quantityof the "Show and Tell" items. It reflects the talent that we have in our club. Keep up the good work!!
It was suggested at the last Executive Committee meeting that Brevard Woodturners be included as a particular club. What this will mean is that one more member will be needed to represent Brevard Woodturners on the committee. I will discuss that at the next meeting.
I have been thinking (alwasy dangerous) about ways to improve the financial when we get the EOG grant from AAW, but it would be nice to have money in the bank to have a well known turner come to the club for example. What do you think about a raffle to be held quarterly that members would contribute a piece of their work to be raffled off? Tickets would be cheap. $1.00 each of 6/$5.00. It would be an easy way to raise money for the club and a way to inspire members to turn a piece for the raffle. We can discuss this at the meeting also.
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.
Good turning. I will see you on December 17th.
