Highland Woodturners Club (Scottish Charity SC053651)
Promoting the art and craft of woodturning in the Scottish Highlands
A well attended evening organised by our Chair, Nick Simpson, on the topic of platters. Nick told us about the techniques needed for making platters, including sacrificial chucking, multiple centre chucking, etc.
The club members took lathes to demonstrate aspects of platter making
Doors from 6 pm. A reminder members can bring items to show/ talk about before the meeting and at the tea break.
Nick Simpson will talk about platters and has some turners doing things related to platters.
Enjoy the clean workshop after the board and Nicky Dawson came along for a deep clean last week.
Tonight saw a gathering of people to see what our turners for the evening chose to make. We had a live edge bowl from Marco, some rings from Barry, a platter from Alan and a bowl form Mytilda. As usual Bob forgot to take Photographs for most of the meeting.
Doors open at 6pm
Barry is organising Turners to follow their whims !
Please see ” Minutes and Documents” area of website
The minutes from the AGM will be published shortly and I have absolutely no idea what happened at the quiz , as I was writing minutes !
Followed by popular demand, by a quiz. Agenda and proposed amendments to the Constitution have been emailed to members.
This will be our second AGM since becoming a SCIO. The board want to suggest some amendments to the Constitution to reflect our membership categories.
If anyone wishes to join the board they can be proposed and seconded at the meeting.
We will follow the AGM ( time permitting) with the quiz cancelled last month.
As usual doors open at 6pm, and don’t forget you can bring things to show others and /or ask for advice about. Tonight’s theme is ” Hollowing” which takes the form of a demonstration by David Ross.
This meeting is cancelled, due to road/ car park conditions and the weather forecast. See you on the 22nd
