The June meeting will be at 6:30 pm on the 19th at the University of Tennessee Space institute, room H111.
Seems like only a week or two since the last newsletter. Gardening/lawn, VBS, and a few side jobs have all contributed to a very busy month.

John Hartin displayed
3 really nice bowls with decorative trim. (1)
cherry with lacquer finish
(2) osage orange has wax finish (3)
spaulted magnolia with lacquer finish. John tried to stretch truth saying he carved trim
but admitted he used a texture tool. |
Richard Gulley brought 2 CNC signs he made of cherry. One was a heart for a family in memory of their relative and one of a cross. Both were for the memorial wall at his church. He also had a spoon of dogwood made on band saw and carved. He showed a jig to set jointer blades which could be purchased for around $40.00 and one he made for a lot less.. |

Jim Acord displayed a thread caddy made of cherry, finish wipe on poly. He had made one for his wife's Christmas present. She asked him to make more for her quilting partners. |
I needed to cut long boards on the table saw but had only a small table for the outfeed and none for the infeed. So, I built this handy infeed table using scrap plywood and a sawhorse, both of which I already had on hand.
I drilled a hole in the center of the sawhorse crossbar and cut a slot in the plywood. The ply is fastened to the horse with a carriage bolt, fender washer and wingnut. Voilà – adjustable infeed support. And it’s easy to take to plywood off to put the horse back in use for its original purpose.

This newsletter is a little short, but my “To Do” list is more than long enough to make up for it.
