Our July Meeting was held on July 18th, 2023 and was timed to coincide with the end of Matt Monaco’s classes at Peter’s Valley.
Attendees: Steve Ackmann, Rick Wortman, Scott Hendricks, Mark Wallace, Ed Nikles, Joe Kopec, Jack Delaney.
Due to the demonstration by Matt Monaco, we only held a brief meeting. Rick Wortman reported that the checking account balance was still the same and in better shape than we’ve been at this time in recent years.
Ed Nikles showed the finished version of the coloring technique he domstrated at the June Meeting:
We then had a demonstration from Matt Monaco on the his approach to turning a platter. Matt was featured in The AAW Woodturners magazine in the June 2023 issue, he is a highly skilled turners and teaches all over the nation.
Matt turned a platter out of cherry and donated it to our club at the meetings end.
Next month’s meeting will be another Peters Valley teacher, Beth Ireland, who will do a hands-on demonstration on offset turning. That meeting will be on August 22, 2023 at 7:00PM at the Peters Valley Woodshop.
