SPECIAL THANKS
OUR SPECIAL THANKS TO RUTH WARMBROD
FOR HER DONATION TO THE CLUB
OF COLLECTIONS OF BILL ‘S
MAGAZINES. RUTH GAVE US A COMPLETE SET
OF WORKBENCH AND HANDYMAN THAT
STARTED BACK IN THE SEVENTIES.
THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR
LIBRARY. AND NOW WITH THE
BOOKSHELF THAT BILL CHEW MADE,
WE’RE ON OUR WAY TO A FINE
SELECTION OF WOODWORKING
INFORMATION. I PROMISE TO GET STARTED
ON LISTING THE BOOKS REAL SOON.
OCTOBER SURPRISE
Ross ROEPKE STARTED THE EVENING OFF
SHOWING A MODERN STEP STOOL.
THE DESIGN WAS SO UNIQUE THAT I SAW
A COUPLE OF FOLKS STEPPING ON
IT DURING BREAK TO SEE IF IT REALLY
WORKED. IT NOT ONLY WORKED,
BUT IT LOOKS GREAT, TOO. ROSS ALSO
HAD A BURL CLOCK THAT PASSED
JACK TOWNSENDS CAREFUL SCRUTINY.
BILL CHEW, MY KIND OF
VOLUNTEER, ROLLED OUT THE BOOKSHELF
THAT HE BUILT FOR THE CLUBS
WOODWORKING COLLECTION. MANY
THANKS, BILL.
JIM VAN CLEAVE SHOWED A CHEST OF
DRAWERS THAT HAD A LOT OF FAMILY
HISTORY WITH THEM. THE WALNUT WAS
WOOD THAT CAME FROM HIS
GRANDFATHERS FARM. WINFIELD BENNET
A . K. A. WINFIELD BISHOP SHOWED
A PEACOCK CARVING THAT HE DESCRIBED
AS A PENITENTIARY CARVING.
No FOLKS, WINFIELD HAS NOT SPENT
ANY TIME AT THE CROSSBAR HOTEL,
HE JUST CALLED IT THAT. HENRY DAVIS
HAD A NEW CHUCK FOR HIS
LATHE. HE WITNESSED STRONGLY FOR
THE NOVA SYSTEM CHUCK. I DON ‘T
REALLY UNDERSTAND ALL THESE CHUCKS
FOR LATHES. IF I HAD THAT
MANY ATTACHMENTS FOR MY MIXER,
THERE WOULD BE ROOM FOR NOTHING
ELSE IN THE KITCHEN.
JOHN TROXLER HAD A NICE STURDY
STOOL WITH HIM THAT HAD A FINE
STEADY DESIGN TO IT. CROCIA HAD A
MYSTERY TOY THAT I NEVER GOT
MY HANDS ON BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE
WERE ATTEMPTING IT.
I HOPE I GOT THIS PART RIGHT,
BECAUSE IT SHOW MORE OF THE FINE
VOLUNTEER EFFORT OUR CLUB IS
PUTTING OUT. MURREL CHATTIN MADE
THE SQUARES THE FRANKLIN COUNTY ADULT
ACTIVITY CENTER NEEDED TO
TEACH CANING. AND FRANK AND MARY
GRIZZARD HELPED CROCIA WITH THE
SAMPLES. THAT WAS A GREAT DEAL OF
WORK AND WE’RE PROUD OF ALL
OUR MEMBERS. THERE WERE SO MANY
MEMBERS IN VOLVED IN THIS
PROJECT, I HOPE I GAVE EVERYONE
CREDIT.
AND IN THE TRUE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT, A
VOICE CALLED OUT TO PHIL
BISHOP AT KETNERS MILL AND SAID ,
“I’M A TURNED WOODEN BOWL, BUY
ME. “ I’M GOING TO TEACH MY FRAMES
TO TALK. DON’T GET TOO CLOSE
TO THEM.
W00DCARVERS EXTRA ORDINAIRE
JIM AND CARLA WRIGHT FROM
MURFREESBORO GAVE OUR PROGRAM. JIM NOT
ONLY HAS A FINE EYE, BUT A FINE EAR
SINCE HE IMMEDIATELY
RECOGNIZED THE INSTIGATORS ON
TROUBLE MAKER ROW. HE’S A SELF
TAUGHT WOODCARVER THAT HAS BEEN AT
IT FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS. YOU
CAN ALWAYS TELL A GOOD PROGRAM WHEN
PEOPLE ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS.
THIRTY MINUTES AFTER JIM ASKED “
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ?
FOLKS WERE STILL RAISING THEIR
HANDS. IT WAS A FINE PROGRAM, IF
YOU MISSED IT JOIN US THIS MONTH
FOR ANOTHER FINE PROGRAM. DID
ANYBODY GO OUT AND GATHER DRIFTWOOD
AFTER LISTENING TO JIM ?
DON’T FORGET THAT LUNCH WILL BE
PROVIDED SATURDAY AT THE SEMINAR.
TOM IS KEEPING THE MENU A SECRET
BUT I THINK I HEARD SOMETHING
ABOUT STONE Soup.
DON ‘T FORGET TO BRING A POCKET
KNIFE IF YOU ‘RE TAKING WINFIELD ‘S CLASS.
