VALLEY WOODWORKERS APRIL ‘92
The mystery continues!!! Last month at newsletter time we
were certain that spring had sprung and winter was all behind us like a bad
dream. No sooner had we printed our optimistic prognostications of an early
spring, Mother Nature came along and blew us a nasty reminder of Winter. Well... is it really Spring?? Is it safe to
plant tomatoes and peppers or does Mother Nature have just one more surprise up
her Sleeve?
A MARVELOUS MARCH MEETING
Thank You Once Again!!! to Mike & Mary Sharp, Cindy and
IJTSI for a most excellent program. We’ve had many excellent comments on the
laser woodburning demonstration.
Mike struck a fine balance between education and practice...
something easier said than done. I’m certain that Mike maintains this balance
in his daily work as well.. .we are fortunate to have him and his talents right
here in Middle Tennessee.
PREPARE TO DANCE AN APRIL “JIG”
The third Tuesday falls late this month. Our meeting will be
on April 21, 7:00 at the Duck River Building in Decherd. Be prepared to “do
jigs”. Ross Roepke has graciously “volunteered” to demonstrate several of his
jig and fixtures. Ross puts jig making in the same category as furniture
making.. .it’s all fun. I imagine he has even made a jig to make a jig. Bob
Reese has also graciously consented to demonstrate gluing and clamping jigs and
fixtures. We solicit your participation.. .bring your favorite jig or fixture
to “Show and Tell”.
