October 2020 Meeting

On October 1st we returned to the Rivet to use their facility and video streaming setup to host a zoom meeting with Jim Finley demoing making a baby rattle and hook tool usage and sharpening of a hook tool and double grind rake scraper.  Some pictures of the event with a glimpse at how remote meetings are done.

There were 22 members in attendance (locally and virtually).  We had 2 camera angles resulting in excellent video.

Several members who attended virtually reported that it was the best demonstration of tool use they had seen – and that the virtual format actually allowed them to see more than they could in a face-to-face meeting.  We recorded the meeting and will distribute the link to all paid members within the next few days.

The winners of the gift certificates:

  • Ken Vasko
  • Mike Lebo

$20 each from Woodturnerswonders.com.  We hope to make more opportunities for members who join our Zoom meetings

MANY THANKS to folks at The Rivet who provided much needed equipment and hours of their time to make our meeting successful.  Our collaborative relationship with The Rivet is benefiting both of us.  They are providing opportunities for us to sell our own works for our own profit.  They are providing opportunities for us to help them sustain the Makers World.  They are making opportunities for us to teach classes and to have a lathe available for members who don’t have their own. This has become a very productive relationship, and we hope you will continue to do everything possible to support it.
