Klingspor Woodworking Showcase '09 sign-up sheet · 03-08-2009, 10:28 PM

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.

Judging Staff - Saturday 9:30 am - 11:30 am
1) Jerome B
2) BillPappas
Other artistic folk recommendations -

Other areas of help follow -

Early Registration (and help moving contestants pieces) - Friday 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

4)

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.

John, that's awesome. Please let us know what we can do to help make this happen.
I would love to give it a spin, but think that it is very different than turning on a powered lathe. There's the foot pumping thing combined with the 50% forward rotation and tool rhythm. It could be good for some laughs as "experienced" turners try to do it the old way.

Thanks,
Dave

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP

I will be meeting with the organizing committee on Thursday. I would really like to have a bit more participation to offer them. We are smokin' in the demos

and our table will be manned. But in the general help area: sign-in, loading/unloading help, and judging we are really lacking. Also I don't know how many have entered into the competition, but I hope it's a lot. There is a lot of talent on this site and it needs to be recognized.

So come on folks let's get away from the keyboard and do something, I promise it will be fun. If not I'll give your money back

Thanks in advance,
Dave

That IHOP can get real crouded in the morning. You might want to get there earlier, park at klingspor parking lot and walk over.

Another BUMP we still could use 1 more member to help with the judging. A few more folks to help with the sign-in, registration and moving of the contestant pieces.
And above all we need more folks to enter the competition.

Let's do it and show everybody what North Carolina Woodworker can do for this community.

A most sincere thanks to all that have offered to volunteer and with hope, those that still will.

TIA,
Dave

Earl you're far too modest, unless you've given away or sold all the things that you've turned. Everything I've ever seen come off your lathe IS GOOD ENOUGH. Good enough to take First Place.

Earl,

If its not too much trouble, I'd really enjoy seeing some of the Oland tools you made. While there is no catagory for tools (this year, but I'm already thinking about next year), we will have a few lathes running demos.

Thanks,
Jim

You guys need a separate category for puzzles. I'd be a cinch for first (unless Bart Buie showed up

)

DaveO · 04-11-2009, 11:29 AM

There's a category for Misc. items that don't fit into any other category. I'm sure you would be a shoe-in in that category. IF the judges could figure out how to work one of your puzzles.
