The Show and Tell Table
A gourd lamp by Tiffany well is was really by Bob Lawrence
A carved wooden spool by Tom Backhoff
Wooden Mechanical Marvels by Lloyd Elliott
Our guest Michael Hall brought in a notebook of his stone projects and his collection of antique planners
Dennis Maddox brought a copy of Woodworkers Journal with an article about him and he will also be doing a demo on hand cut dovetails at Rocklers in October. Nice job Dennis

Our demo was given by our very talented Lloyd Elliott on making scissors and or pliers from wood that is 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick. Lloyd informed us that he now can make them in 5 min if no one is looking, but reminded us that it took over 2 hours to make the first one and it looked like a beaver had gnawed on it. It was interesting to see the ways Lloyd set up his work area and secured clamps , made jigs and templates. A BIG THANKS for a demo well done.

Just a reminder David Babb will be teaching us to carve a Santa Christmas ornament in Nov and in December in conjunction with Christmas dinner Bob Lawrence will show us how to make a mold from your own carving so you can make your own casting from various materials.
