Dave Staeheli: Turning an Off-Axis Goblet
At Cabrillo Middle School Wood Shop in Ventura
Located near the junction of Main and Santa Clara streets on Santa Clara St.
Note that due to insurance requirements only current AAW members may participate in using the lathes: but everyone can watch and learn.
As noted above in blue, our agreement with the school, and due to the AAW insurance policy that covers our activities, only current members of the AAW will be allowed to use the lathes. Whether or not they plan to turn at this meeting, we strongly suggest that all members of Channel Islands Woodturners join the national AAW for the many benefits including the excellent journal and the annual symposium.
Future Events
25 February 2012 - Hands-On Meeting
President’s Message
Happy 2012!
Here we go again! So let’s get our acts
together and get turning wood. We
have a meeting next Saturday the 21st at 9:00 A.M.
At this meeting we’ll have a half-day demo by our own Dave Staeheli, on
turning re-centered. I think he’ll
do a goblet and perhaps a couple of other things.
In addition, at the meeting we’ll talk
about the details and preparation for John Beaver’s workshop scheduled for
February 9th and 10th at Woodcraft featuring John’s “Wave”
techniques, and we’ll start planning our attendance to the AAW Symposium in San
Jose. I hope all of you will bring an
item for show-and-tell, and I think there will be a couple of additional
subjects to provoke conversations and sharing of opinions.
All newer members are encouraged to attend, participate,
speak up, and feel free to bring a tool to sharpen or a piece of wood
that is presenting a challenge.
Also remember it is time to pay our
annual dues of $25. Please mail a
check to Ron Lindsay at 1795 Lyndhurst
Ave., Camarillo, CA 93010.
A lot of us attended the 10th Annual Holiday Party most gracefully
hosted by Lynn and Al Geller. As
usual we had excellent and plentiful food, a beautiful show-and-tell, a rather
animated gift exchange, and of course great conversations as we shared all sort
of stories. With some trepidation we
look forward to having our Holiday Party elsewhere this year.
I know I express the membership’s most sincere THANK YOU to Lynn and Al
for opening their home to CIW for the last ten years.
I look forward to our seeing you next Saturday at Cabrillo Middle School.
Pedro

Turning/Turner of the Month
This month we feature David Frank with his natural edge turning presented at the
Show and Tell at the Holiday Party.
David is honored to highlight his return to serious turning after a long and
painful series of problems and surgeries involving his neck and back.
David has been a strong pillar of our club for many years, and we hope he
has fully recovered his strength and enthusiasm.
