Help Needed - Raleigh Klingspor Woodworking Showcase -Saturday, April 26, 2008

I posted about this before, but I've waited until Paul was able to be more specific. Then I kept forgetting to actually make a sign up sheet.

First let me give you guys some reasons of why we should show support for Klingspor in general and Paul in particular.

Paul was the person that convinced Klingspor that we should be considered a club and get club discounts. Since that time, they have been staunch supporters of us. Not just in words, but in action, which is what really counts.

At Klingspor's Fall extravaganza, we have been given free floor space and private rooms. We get our discounts. And yesterday when I went by to see what I could get for picnic door prizes, I walked out with several things, including a Worksharp 3000 and a Kreg K3 Master Jig Set.:eusa_ danc

Now the purpose of this post. Paul would like us to have a table at this woodworking competition just to show we support them.









So the table will need to be manned from 9:30 to about 3:00. I will be there on and off for most of the day and I would like to have one other person. So please sign up for the following time periods:

7:30 - 9:30 Setup - Steve Coles, Don Sorenson

9:30 - 10:30 - FredP

10:30 - 11: 30

11:30 - 12:30 - Bill Pappas

1:30 - 2:30 Dozer

2:30 - 3:30 DaveO

In addition, they need help setting up and checking in entries starting at 7:30. I will be there for that, but I would certainly appreciate one other person to help. Please sign up for that.

In addition they would like to have demos going on. This time I would like us to stay away from pen turning. It seems that is always what we we do, I wouldn't want us to get known for just doing that.

Something Bas' worksharp demo would be great. I have something else in mind for me to do, but I don't want say anything until I'm sure it is feasible.

Also Paul was hoping someone would demo hand cut dovetails. Any volunteers????? Any other ideas would be welcome. Please PM me about anything you would be willing to demo and the times you would be available.

Demonstrations

Bas - 9:30 - ??? Worksharp Demo

Froplips - 10:00 - ??? Flattening Plane Soles using Scraping

Froglips - 11:00 - 11:00:30 Cat Juggling That's what Jim said

Doug Robinson - Bowls using a router

Note: Demo can overlap, so just pick your times

I will be bringing our fliers and North Carolina Woodworker name badges for the people signing up to do anything.

Patrick,

If you have chisels bring them, Bas needs ones to sharpen. He can sharpen them while you are watching and be done in a few minutes. The Worksharp that he is demo'ing is really a pretty cool item. By the way, if you have a chance, tell us about yourself in the forum section under who we are. There are alot of us in Clayton, so if you ever need anything , just give a holler.

And one more thing, Welcome to the website.

Jimmy
