Well-known member
SAPFM – ORV Chapter,
I still could not get in contact with Brooke Smith about doing a short presentation on “How to use colored waxes. I am turning this presentation into a Group Discussion. If you have an example(s), please bring them or send me some photo(s) for the TV screen.
1) SAPFM Midyear is scheduled for October 9-13, 2025 at Colonial Williamsburg. This registration is now open.
2) Saturday’s lunch will again be from Subway. That continues to go over well at the meetings. Cost will be around $10/person. If you are coming to the meeting, please RSVP by Wednesday, August 13. If you do RSVP and life happens and you have to cancel, please let me know of the change. I use the head count to judge the amount of food to order for Saturday’s lunch.
3) If you want to have photographs for a demonstration or group discission, please send them to me a week before the meeting. I will have them uploaded to my laptop for display on Woodcraft’s TV screen.
4) For those arriving on Friday night with no dinner plans, we will meet in the hotel lobby at 6:00pm. If you would like to join us, please also RSVP for Friday night dinner, so we won’t leave without you.
5) SAPFM – ORV Additional Fall Meeting on Campaign Furniture at Dan Hrinko’s Shop on Sept 27, 2025. (I still need to set this up.)
Cheers,
David
AGENDA
SATURDAY, August 16, 2025
1. Open doors at 10:00am
Arrive, relax, enjoy some conversation with friends
2. Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00am – 12:00pm
The “show and tell” is an ice breaker. Please bring anything you would like to show off. If you have a special piece, a project or even a jig, please bring them. For those who haven’t attended a previous meeting, this is a quick introduction, a display of your skills, interests, projects both past and present, jig, etc. It can even be a request for help in a particular area. After we go around the room, we will break for 30 min. During this break, you can seek out the other members who have similar interests and/or have already built a project/jig you want to build. This break will give you the opportunity to meet and establish a new friendship, pick their brains, and continue communicating with them after the meeting. This is extremely helpful for highly specialized niches, like inlays, marquetry, carving, Bombay chest, etc.
2a) Introductions and Show & Tell, 11:00 - 11:30am
Name, where you live, your past and present projects, classes, and/or your particular interest and your Show & Tell item if you brought one. …
