Klingspor Woodworking Showcase '09 sign-up sheet

[DaveO]

Sorry I am a few days late on this. As y'all know coming up is the Klingspor Woodworking Showcase '09 that is being sponsored by North Carolina Woodworker, TWA, and of course Klingspor (who supports us greatly). It will be going on Saturday April 18th, with a little help needed Friday the 17th in the afternoon.
We need folks to help out. This will be held at the Raleigh Klingspor location.
To start we need a few more judges. I told the organizing committee that I could have at least two experienced woodworkers to help with the judging. Hopefully we could have some non-woodworking people with artistic background to help also.
The judges would be needed for about 2 hours max.

Demos - all day Saturday, as many as we can have. I need your suggestions on what we can do. Last year we did scroll sawing, pen turning, powered tool sharpening, and router bowl work. I would like to see at least one demo running throughout the whole day.
Saturday 9:00 am - 4:00 pm ( at least 7 hour long shifts)

1) Phil S - strip canoe
2) ScottM/PChristy - scroll saw
3) WoodArtz - turning
4) rmorgan1203 - Sketchup
5) 02blues - Spring Pole lathe
6)
7)

Also helpful would be folks to take pictures throughout the day, because we all love to see ourselves in pictures, and that validates that it really did happen.


Please post in this thread when you might be able to help. If you have any questions please ask or PM either I or Froglips for more information.
One of the staff will add you name to the lists once you've posted your interest in helping out.

We also need contestants. We had a great showing last year from North Carolina Woodworker, with many members winning prizes. The youth catagory really needs folks, last year AlexL cleaned-up in it but there wasn't too many contestants.

Thanks in advance for your help. It's these type of functions that make North Carolina Woodworker more than just a website, but an asset to the whole community.

I would love to help, but I will be coming back from a trip that day. Really hate to miss it as I won't be back until late day Saturday.

[DaveO]

Yeah, we all know about your swanky trip...you suck. We'll miss you, but I bet you won't miss us...too much

you got my pm..

I would be very willing to put on a demo on Sat. I have built several strip canoes so I thought I could assemble the station molds for say the front 4 or 5 feet of a canoe and show the various techniques of forming and applying the strips. I would bring a fair amount of strip material so I could start over several times. I could setup the mold on one of their workbenches but would need a second bench or table to display the materials. How much space do we get? If there is adequate space I could bring a small 12' feather canoe to show a finished product.

Wrong side of the state for me ... but I stopped by last year a day before the event and got to see a lot of what was going to happen and be on display. Should be a good time!

There won't be a lot of room in the store itself, at least there wasn't last year. But there will be a lot of room outside the store on the front sidewalk. Doug Robinson did his router bowls out there due to the mess they make. There is power available there to. There also will be a large tent set up in the parking lot. No power there, but more space.
I think that sounds like a great demo

[Phil S]

I will plan on the sidewalk and I will just be there all day

[DaveO]

Awesome
Thanks!

I would like to thank Sawduster (Robert) for offering to help with the Judging. I don't know of a more ARTISTIC person who also has an eye and talent for fine woodworking and the beauty in wood.

Dave,

I will volunteer to judge as well if you still need more judges.

Regards,

Luckily, I have a job this year.
Unfortunately my job will have me in Mississippi for most of the month of April and I will not be able to attend this year. And that's a bad thing, becuase it was real fun last year.
