#1 | | Klingspor show and NCWW gathering 2007 Name: Monty City: Hickory State: NC County: Catawba Join Date: Jul 2005  09-10-2007, 05:41 PM
Gathering of NC Woodworkers to follow (further details TBA). Be sure to mark your calendars and set aside time for this event! Start making carpool plans now! We had a great time in previous years! (click to see pics from the 2005 and 2006 Extravaganzas!)
We're still finalizing plans, but Klingspor has once again graciously offered plenty of space for our gathering. There will be plenty of room to show off our work and run some demonstrations (woodturning, scrollsawing, or maybe something else... we're open to ideas & suggestions!). And on Saturday we'll have a nice room to gather together for fellowship and some more of that great BARBECUE!  
Once again, in an effort to obtain a reasonable estimate of how many will attend this event, please reply in this thread if you plan to attend. If you can, plan to bring a few projects along to show off!
See you there!  | | Views: 4526 | |

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Seems like we've known some of you guys for longer than 2 years - but remember meeting folks for the 1st time at that show in 2005. Last year was fun - count us in this year.

Should we mention that we created several pen turners last year?

Originally Posted by Mike Davis  I will try to attend this year.
Would anybody like to see a primitive wood working demo? YES! That would be awesome! I have discussed some preliminary plans with Coleman, and we will likely have some significant floor space on the main floor which would be perfect for demonstrations like this. (We will still have a private dining room on Saturday -- thanks again to Coleman and the Klingspor Woodworking Shop!  )
This will result in a LOT more exposure for our little online "club" - which is great. Our pen turning demo last year attracted some attention, but not as much as it would have on the main floor. I know I really enjoyed it when new people came along and asked questions, etc.
So... to make the most of it, I think a demo like 'primitive woodworking' would generate a lot of attention. I know I'd like to see it! We can also do pen turning again if we like (we'll need pre-drilled blanks again), or maybe scrollsawing (Cathy?), or whatever else ya'll might like to do!
The floor space will be open for us on Friday and Saturday, so we can do demonstrations both days if we like. So, if someone would like to show off their skills but could only be there at a certain time, that would be OK! In fact, if there is enough interest I could make up an online sign-up sheet to divvy up some time blocks.
I look forward to seeing everyone again. Looks like our little gathering keeps getting better every year!!! | |

Some Ideas to throw around
Sharpening tools. I know last year the Tormek guy did all sorts of sharpening demos, and he was amazing. But what about sharpening different ways.
Carving. Would there be enough time to demonstrate this skill? I know we have some good carvers here. The only thing I know about it, is I have never tried.
Turning. Pens, goblets (Steve), boxes. Anything else that can be accomplished.
Anything else? I can predrill some blanks if we have enough interest in turning pens.

I could give a demo on how to drive screws and miss the mark every time  | |
