February meeting featured Mark Dreyer doing a demo on rings. While not pen turning hopefully it was fun to see something new.
April we get back to pen making and what two demos we have. First John Underhill doing a little something different - finials / kit modifications. Always looking to differentiate yourself this is for you. And Dave Dockstader doing his thing with kits and compatibility charts.
This will be a Zoom meeting and if interested I will invite you. Either email me at chicagopenturners@yahoo.com (and I will confirm) or PM me with your email address so I can send an invite. I will start the meeting one hour early to allow for testing the connection and socializing. See you there.
April 17, 2021
All meetings are from 10 am - 1 pm - WILL BE VIRTUAL STARTING AT 9
December (2021) Christmas Challenge:
A total of $25 (kit and blank). Make the best pen you can, and the winner gets the glory (and the prizes). I encourage to use some technique you either learned or were inspired to try. We will vote as a group. This year's winner was a nice watch parts pen.
Tips and Tricks:
Please bring your tips and tricks for all of us to share and learn. Last month we had a few but always looking for more. Even if small – it might be something someone else is struggling with.
Show and Tell:
Please bring any pens you either loved making and just want to show off / are having trouble with a techniques and want help / want feedback on / or just want to put on a table. This will be an open forum to help each other. You will find two things out – one helping others is fun and two you know more than you think you do and others will benefit.
Looking for demonstrators and / or topics. If you have any interest in doing a demo email me. Also if you have suggestions for a demo you would like to see email me back.
Thanks,
Mark
