CARVER'S CORNER

The Carvers met on Saturday, September 5 at Jim Jolliffe's shop, which has become a popular place. There were twelve carvers present including Jim, his father-in-law Tom and his neighbor Greg, Dick, Allan, Sharon, Kelton, Ken B and Ken G. Steve, Blue and Paul. The increasing number of carvers at each meeting and the wide variety of carving interests within the group is a testimonial to the value of the Club.

New carvers and visitors are always welcome. The carvers are very grateful to Jim for hosting the meetings. The carvers are meeting twice a month on the first and third
Saturdays on the month from 8:30 to 10:30. The attached photo is a group
shot of the Carvers as they plan future events. Some of the events that we have planned in the near future are:
1) Participation in the Cowan Festival on the weekend of September 18, 19 and 20 to show, sell or demonstrate wood carving skills. Tent set-up is Friday at 1:00 pm, occupy the tent on Saturday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm andon Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm and tear down afterwards.
2) Meet at Phil Bishop's shop on Saturday, October 3 at 9:00 am to clear out the rest of the wood we have stored there.
3) Make arrangements to use the Carvers fund to buy a carousel horse rough-out from Horsing Around as the next Carvers project.

Shop Tip

Abranet Mesh vs Sandpaper

Abranet is a mesh abrasive with thousands of small holes. The distance from each abrasive grit to the nearest dust collection point is only half a millimeter. This provides efficient dust extraction from the entire surface of the material.
- Due to the fantastic extraction ability, You can use it wet or dry. Cuts much faster than paper, outlasts any other type, and when it loads up, you simply smack it against the lather, or anything else, and it clears the openings and is ready to continue.
- Abranet has a much longer lifetime and retains its original sanding performance much longer than traditional abrasives. This means that sanding can be carried out more quickly and more effectively.
- The finish is smooth and scratch-free when compared to standard sandpaper
- Abranet sheets and discs outlast traditional abrasives for greater efficiency.
- Immediate dust removal allows for better sanding
- Even grain distribution provides more consistent finish and improved surface appearance.
- Extended product life requires less use of materials.
- Better work environment and less environmental impact.
