Tennessee Valley Woodworkers

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 06 2023

Greetings Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seemed to go right? I’ve had one of those days for about the last four weeks! I ordered a new 100 watt laser engraver about the first of May. When it was delivered there were issues with it. It took the last four weeks […]

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 05 2023

Greetings We had a good day at the Sharpening Seminar on the 22nd . We had six or eight in attendance (some were a little dull) but by lunch time we were all sharp woodworkers! A week or so ago Henry Davis and I took a road trip to Dean Lutes shop to pick up […]

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 04 2023

Greetings Well, I’m hopeful that Spring has sprung. It’s been a busy month so far and I don’t see any change in the activity level. My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary on the 7th. It’s probably more than coincidence that both of us had been married exactly 50 years. The rest of the […]

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 03 2023

Greetings Well, as I write this, it’s the afternoon of “Spring Forward.” I made through church without sleeping (at least not too much.) But I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist the call of the recliner the rest of the afternoon. I’d sure like to get a good start on the newsletter though. Before […]

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 02 2023

Greetings February is upon us and by the time you read this newsletter Valentine’s Day may have come and gone. I hope you remembered the one who takes care of you. Whether it be wife, husband, parent, or friend. “Always take care of the one who takes care of you.” I plan on bringing to […]

Newsletter Vol 38 / Issue 01 2023

Greetings This year is very special. It’s loaded with expectations, possibilities, and challenges (great and small, good and bad.) I pray for you all a good year with no greater problems than you can comfortably handle – or at least, handle. Of one thing I’m relatively sure. If you have a woodworking problem, you have […]

Newsletter Vol 37 / Issue 12

Greetings This year is quickly slipping through our fingers. I trust we have all made the best of those days. We’ve had many opportunities for fellowship. I’ve enjoyed the meetings/programs this past year both in-person and on Zoom. Glad to see Covid moving into the past.  I’ve had the pleasure of working on group projects […]

Newsletter Vol 37 / Issue 11

Greetings We’re on the backside of 2022 and it seems to be building up speed. My calendar of appointments is quickly filling up. I hope all of you have added Nov 19 (the Club tool/Craft Sale) and Dec 10 (the Club Christmas Brunch.) Both events are in the gym at the Decherd Church of the […]

Newsletter Vol 37 / Issue 10

Greetings We’re having beautiful weather and a great time to be in the shop. I’m sure a lot of our folk are busy helping out Santa and those poor overworked elves. I have a few more Christmas ornaments and Halloween decorations I’m working on and hope to have some samples for Show & Tell. Late […]

Newsletter Vol 37 / Issue 09

Greetings I really hate that I missed the annual auction. That’s one of my favorite program/events. I’ve been down in the back for several weeks now’ but I’m just about back to normal. I celebrated by going out to the shop and sticking my finger into a spinning table saw blade. Thanks to the SawStop, […]
