The annual UTSI Employee Picnic was held on September 21st. They would like to express their appreciation to all the TVW club members who made and donated items for the UTSI auction.
The TVW provided activities in the Morton Village at
the Coffee County Fair September 17 – 22. The group had woodworking
items on display,
made and gave away tops and scroll-saw puzzles. The visitors especially
enjoyed Henry’s intriguing puzzles. Everyone participating had a
great time.
Thanks to Doyle, the chairperson, who provides the coordination effort
for this activity and to all the club members who came and helped. It
always provides a good time to visit with your fellow club members and
demonstrate your woodworking skills for those touring the
demonstration area.
The Annual Polly Crocket Festival was held Sept. 21 – 23 in Cowan, TN. The talented group of TVW carvers participated in this event.
The nominating committee will present a slate of officers for 2013 at the October meeting. You will have the opportunity to nominate from the floor, but, you must have permission of the person you are nominating. The officer election will be conducted at the November meeting.
The carvers met on October 6th at the shop of Phil
Bishop. The major effort was helping Paul Jalbert start a large
medallion that Boy Scouts and visitors would be carving on during the
Tim’s Ford State Park "Heritage Days" October 13.
The carvers normally meet on the first Saturday of each month and work
on individual or group projects. Everyone is welcome to “join in”.

The “Segmented Turning” workshop was held on Saturday
October 13 at UTSI. About 20 eager students were on hand for the
learning process. The
workshop was presented by Loyd Ackerman.
This was a hands-on workshop covering the steps in design through cut
list for creating a Segmented Vessel. Loyd’s discussion and video
demonstrations showed participants how to cut the segments, make the
rings, and assemble and turn the vessel. The participants left prepared
to go to their shop to create their first masterpiece.
Thanks to Loyd for his great presentation.

“Shop Tour” season is nearly over. Clean up
your shop because your shop may be on the next tour.

some ideas to apply in their own shop.
If you want to be on the tour list, contact Doyle.
