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 -

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.

Thanks,
Jim

I'll bring some along.

I will have to get there early, in order to enter some pieces.
I think about 8 am so I can help out then.

Think I'm gonna make it

DaveO · 04-14-2009, 09:28 PM

Excellent Roger we can use all the member's presence that we can get.
Folks even if you didn't sign up for anything and find that you can come out and spend some time, your help will be welcomed. Even if you don't help and just come to chew the fat, that will be welcomed too.
So everyone come out and join North Carolina Woodworker in person, you might be surprised at what we all really look like.

Fred, I think that we are good on Judges for right now, but that is dependent on how many entries there are. It would be great if you could grace us with your presence, I know we could find something for you to do. You are needed as is every member who can come out. I hope to see you there

because the whole porpose of this thing is to ATTRACT customers.

froglips · 04-16-2009, 05:06 PM

Not to change direction, but I am going to bring a crock pot of my infamous vegetarian chili for those who want veggie chili on their hot dogs

I made a test batch yesterday, its not up to Rob's chili, but with enough hot sauce, you won't notice the lack of cow parts.

I for one am really excited about this show, what fun!

Quick update, just back from Early Registration. Some pretty awsome pieces have come in already.

Some neat coffee and side tables, chairs, a working tissue box, a train model and more that I can't remember.

Saturday looks to be a fun day in the sun!

Jim
