Join Us at the State Fair? September 10-21, 2014
Let’s all pitch in and increase our good deeds count! Turning at the State Fair for a shift gives you that Good Deeds Count! The sign up for turning and videos is in the email your received from John.
NMWT has taken on the role of organizing the Woodturning area, and the State Fair Coordinator is Jim Breeden. Jim can be reached at jfbreeden@comcast.net or by phone at 505 352-0159. He is in charge of scheduling all volunteers, in addition to many other duties.
Also you may submit pieces for judging! AND of course — Be at and enjoy the Fair! I hope some of you availed yourselves of the opportunity to enter your work into the Santa Fe County Fair. If you missed that chance or want to continue to explore the opportunities to display your work, the NM State Fair is coming up September 10-21.
Entries can be turned in Friday and Saturday, September 5-6 at the Expo Fairgrounds.
In addition to displaying your work, in conjunction with theNMWT, the NM State Fair offers the chance to demonstrate the art and fun of woodturning. If you have never demonstrated before, this is a can’t miss opportunity. People love to see even the simplest things. Watching the demonstrator just take a square piece to round even draws “wow” comments.
Most people have never seen woodturning and it’s fun and rewarding.

International Wood Culture Society (IWCS)
A new resource and inspiration video for all of us! With the 15,000 members worldwide, American Association of Woodturners (AAW) was founded in 1986 in the United States as the largest international wood lathe education system.
In June 2013, IWCS crews came to Tampa to participate their annual event. The program of this exhibition was quite diversified. It was held in an aim of education instead of commercial purposes.
Here is the link to the IWCS Facebook:

Or watch this on IWCS website:

In over 100 classrooms at the venue, wood turners from around the world were invited to share their experience. We also saw many blind and wheelchair wood turners sharing their experiences of woodturning heartily. One of major features of AAW is that regardless of gender, age as well as innate inabilities, everyone has the chance to be an excellent wood turner.
Their energy and spirit touch the heart of men from the eastern culture, which usually let people reserve the skill only for their own. In AAW, no men is selfish, everyone brings out their best. We were not only impressed by their astonishing artworks but deeply moved by the ambiance of all for one, one for all.
Very Sincerely,
The film crew and reporter

During April we have the opportunity to showcase turner’s work and provide pricing and contact information for the public viewing. The space, as viewed in the photos is flexible height shelves about 12″ deep. If you want to display platters, pens, carvings, etc, probably good to have a Plate Holder or Pen Case. Your option! Just include in your packing box.
Any marketing materials, business cards, flyers, brochures or post card type information may be left on the contact table. Bring a supply, and it will be refreshed to have at least 5 of your materials on the table at all times.
Package your item in a cardboard box, with your name clearly printed on the outside. Inside include a note card with your name, piece name, price and contact phone or email.
Each piece will be photographed with your contact card – and printed as a contact sheet for the table.
Pieces will be returned in the May meeting, or as otherwise agreed.

Meeting Notice from November 12, 2013
At last night’s TEW meeting, we agreed to upgrade our grinding station wheels to the CBN wheels. The offer from KJR is $249.95 plus shipping for the two wheel set. That is approximately $50 more for two wheels than other vendors are selling just one wheel and is a tremendous savings. If you are interested in purchasing these CBN and would like to participate in the club purchase, please let me know by the end of next week (Friday, Nov. 22nd). I will consolidate the orders and let you know of the payment schedule.
Thanx,
Alan
