The President's Turn

The Summer Doldrums, The Dog Days of August, call them what you like but they are upon us.
Unless you have the luxury or an air-conditioned shop, turning must be done early in the day
or late in the evening to be bearable. This will last for another month or so and it will be fun again, plus working on the shop instead of in the shop just doesn't get it!
We now have a website, thanks to Bill Howard of Spacecoast Woodturners who helped Susan Pouliot with the details and she got things set-up. More will be presented at the next meeting.
Good turning and I will see you on the 19th.

PRESIDENTS TURN

The President Turn

Many thanks to Harvey Driver and all who participated in the wood auction, you all
helped make it a good one!
We will be raffling off the hollowing tool donated by Bill Piastuch. Rules will be the
same as the last raffle, Tickets are $1.00 ea, 6 for $5.00. Tickets will be sold at the July
and August meetings and the drawing will be at the September meeting. You will NOT
have to be present to win!!
The display at the Mims library was well received. The folks at the library said they had
several favorable comments about it. The talent we have in this club is awesome. Thanks to everyone who donated their work for the exhibit.
I am STILL looking for someone to learn how to operate the video equipment, we should not be relying on just one or two people to know how to run the cameras and the projector. Come on guys I can do it so anybody can!!
This January will mark my two years as President and I think it is time for someone else
to assume that office. We will be naming a nominating committee to present a slate of
Officers for election in December. Anyone interested in serving either on the committee
or as an officer see me at the July meeting.
Good turning and I hope to see you on the 15th.

PRESIDENT'S TURN

The display at the Mims Libray is looking very good! There are several nice pieces in the exhibit that was installed by Steve Marconyak; good job Steve.



We have sold some of the power tools. I am applying for the remainder of our grant we we are in

good financial shape. I don't see u buying any more major equipment in the near future, so I

think we should build our treasury for "Name" turners if the occasion presents itself.

Larry Rittenhouse will be gone until August, so we need a volunteer to be our Camera man, if anyone is interested see me before the meeting.

Good turning and I will see you on the 17th.

May 2009 Newsletter

April 2009 Meeting Minutes

President, Jack Gregory, called the meeting to order at 7 p.m., April 15, 2009. Jack greeted visitors from Orlando (Central Florida Turners), Virgil and Tillie Morar, Dottie Pugh, our demonstrator.

Offices Report:
President: Jack Gregory has written the required letter for the $800 grant from AAW. The
check should be in soon. Discussion about using this money to buy a projector and camera resulted in a motion to have Jack and Larry Rittenhouse purchase the equipment. Larry has loaned and operated his family equipment for many months now.

Vice President: Paul Pouliot has provided the club with a large roll-up screen. In another fund raiser the signed turning tool that Paul completed at a recent demo is being raffled.
Tickets are being sold April 15th and May 20th's meeting.

Secretary: Vern Burgess stated to turn in for-sale items during or soon after meetings so they can be included in the next newsletter.

Treasurer: Mike Mogillevsky reported $893.00 in the Treasury and the video equipment is expected to be covered by the $800 AAW grant.

Ken Thurman is traveling to Oregon and has offered to ship back boxes of burl and spalted wood to those who contact him. Shipping of wood is $8.00 per container. Ken's telephone number is (321) 255-55-3. Email: kenjool@earthlink.net

Tool man, Jim Donovan said all previously ordered tools were in and about $500 was on the next order to craft supply.

Bruce Swinea, Email: kenjool@earthlink.net is the contact person for Brevard Turners between meeting times, however, Jim Donovan has been attending almost all our meetings. Thank you, Jim.

One member reported that Ace Hardware in Titusville, has agreed to stock C/A glue and activator, etc. Your secretary thanks you.

Wood Auction was again handled by Harvey Driver, and again the Club Treasury benefited about $70.00. Thanks to all who contributed

Chris Costello brought in a pick-up load of maple, some so large, bidders had to go outside to the truck. This is noteworthy because Chris has also made a long term loan of a full size Jet Lathe to the club. Several of us call Chris a friend, but he is not a member of Brevard Woodturners. He is too busy making high quality carvings for Fishing Tournament Trophies.

Demonstration:

PRESIDENT' TURN

Can anyone top Robert Browns’ mailbox? What a neat project! I admire his
creativity and imagination, and his stamina for bringing it in for “show and
tell” Good job Robert!!
We have completed acquisition of our video equipment and things look
pretty good. We have 2 new camcorders and a video projector, a switcher, and
the screen that Paul got from Holy Spirit Church;it is installed and it makes a
big difference in the quality of the projected image. Many thanks to Paul for
getting and installing the screen and Larry Rittenhouse for putting up with my
inane questions on projectors and editing video. Somehow we got everything
done without me getting done in!!
The club has stumbled into an incredible bit of good fortune. I was made aware of a man who had a whole garage full of woodworking tools that he wanted to get rid of, so Paul and I went to see him and came away with all his tools!! The deal was we had to take them all or nothing basis, and
when he told us the price we took the deal. The price? $0000.00!! We could
not believe what we had done, but photos in the newsletter prove it. All
proceeds from the sale of these tools will go to the club. Members will have
first shot and what the members don’t take we will advertise at several
locations around town. I almost forgot, the club got a “like new” Penn
State Mini lathe, so now we have 4.
Good turning and I will see you on the 20th.
Jack Gregory

PRESIDENT' TURN


The club will have an exhibit of Turned Pieces at the Mims- Scottsmore Library for the month of June. The display case is quite a bit smaller than the one at the Titusville library so the pieces should be small and we will only have room for about 12-15 items. Please bring your piece to the May meeting . The cove tool that Paul Pouliot made and demonstrated turning a handle at the last meeting will be raffled off at the May meeting. We will sell ticket at $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. This is a great little tool and since Paul has signed it, the value has increased substantially as it is now a collector's item!!! We will sell tickets at the April meeting and up to the break at the May meeting. When the sale will end at the till will be raffled off after the demo. This is a good way to raise money for the club and someone will end up with a very useful tool.



I have applied for the $800 part of the EOG. I hope it arrives by the April meeting. All new members look for your name tags on the table at the April meeting. I wish everything worked as well as getting name tags! I ordered them on Monday and they were shipped on Tuesday! Great service at a good price.



Good Turning, I will see you on the 15th.

PRESIDENT'S TURN

I had just written this piece about how it looked like we did not get the EOG from AAW. But I had not yet e-mailed it to Susan Pouliot for the March newsletter. I had written that in spite of not getting the grant we were still OK with a good demo lathe that is paid. For the modest bank account, and great bunch of members, so we should "keep on keeping on" and the club would be fine. I had some errands to run and when I got back home, the mail had arrived and with it was a letter from AAW saying that we had been awarded a $1000.00 grant. Talk about mixed emotions, now I had to rewrite this and get it to Susan so she could get the newsletter out.

I still have a couple of hoops to jump through, but it will not be a problem. We will get $800 and after I write another letter will get the remaining $200. Getting this grant will let us breathe a little easier, but Mike still has a death-grip on the checkbook, which is as it should be. Paul and I are doing a demo for the Scout Troop that meets at the Port St John Parrish Medical Building on

Tuesday, March 10th, and with the "How To" on the 11th, and the meeting on the 18th, we have a busy month.

Good Turning and I will see you on the 18th.

Jack Gregory
