President's
Turn
by George Raeder
We have a
truly unique opportunity coming up at our November NCWT meeting.
Stuart Batty will be our featured demonstrator all day Saturday and
Sunday, November 6th and 7th. In my humble opinion, Stuart is among
the best five woodturners, demonstrators, and teachers of our craft in
the world. We are fortunate to have him available, and each of you
should make every attempt to witness his presentations.
On
a totally different subject, as my term as president winds down, I
would like to comment on an issue that has bothered me for some
time. I feel that some of the physical handling of Show and Tell
and Turn and Learn objects should exhibit more respect for the maker.
I have noticed pieces being picked up with sticky donut fingers, items
of some delicacy being set down harshly, and items slid across the
benches and tables which are usually somewhat dirty with wood
shavings, grit and dust. Regardless of the ability of the maker, each
piece is representative of a proud owner. I feel as such these items
should be handled carefully and with respect. Each of us should please
act accordingly. Thank you for your attention to this important
matter.

Note
from Paul LaLonde
Regrettably
I am being transferred to Chicago for the immediate future
(at
least the next 2 years). Was hoping to see all of you at next
meeting
but move was kind of unexpected and we have been caught up in
the
details and already unpacking boxes at our new home. Hopefully
will
get
a chance to stop in the Cleveland area from time to time as I will
certainly
miss the NCWT. I will welcome emails any time. Planning to
join
up with Chicago Wood Turners while I'm here to keep my hand in.
Best
Regards,
Paul
LaLonde
