Discounted
Taunton Magazine Subscriptions
DEADLINE February 16, 2019, at the Guild General Meeting
We’re now taking orders for Taunton magazines at special group rates. These rates represent a 20% discount off the regular subscription prices and are applicable to both new and renewal subscriptions on any magazine that Taunton publishes. Since we do this only once a year, in February, you may wish to renew now, even if your subscription expires midyear – Taunton will simple add to your current term.

General Meeting
February 16 in Dublin, NH
Our next Guild General Meeting will be at Paul Tuller’s shop in Dublin, NH, on Saturday, February 16th.
Paul will show a few slides of his work and then give an overview of the use and care of
Japanese hand tools for woodworking.
A highlight of our day will be a
tour of his Japanese timber frame house which he is completing on his property.
Take a look at the house.
Also, be sure to click on the Architecture and Furniture tabs to see some of Paul’s work.

The Guild's public website upgrade from
Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 has been in progress since early December. Design is 75-80% complete with some content in place.
Work is being done in a sandbox on our host. At mid-year, it will be swapped out with the current site at
gnhw.org.
Completed objectives include:
- Refresh and modernize the look and feel of the website.
- Work well on all screen sizes from mobile phones to desktop computers.
- Work well on touch devices.
- Implement a hierarchal menu system (for phones and ease of maintenance).
- Implement a dead-simple image and file attachment process when creating pages, articles or discussion forum posts.
To be completed objectives (mid-year) include:
- Complete existing content migration—in process now.
- Create a more dynamic home page.
- Complete remaining 20% of design features.
- Swap out with the current site.
To be completed objectives (end-of-year) include:
- Re-activate a guild discussion forum.
- Integrate member and public website functions in one place at gnhw.org eliminating a second membership site.
- Install a simple single member login system to support access to current member functions (such as event registration, renewal, member profile, directory, etc) AND current restricted public content (such as Journal archives, SC minutes, discussion forums and other member-only content).

Add a Little Spice to Your Turnings!

Add a Little Spice
to Your Turnings!
Off-axis and off-set turnings can certainly add a different dimension to your turnings, so come watch the wobble in action!
Granite State Woodturners meet on Jan 26 to discuss how to accomplish balanced and useful out-of-round turnings.
Tom Kovalcik of the Seacoast WTC will be demonstrating the use of the Niles offset chuck, one of the simplest and easiest to figure out.
Host Ron Marcoux will demonstrate the use of his homemade off-set chuck and his adaptations of a tool rest to accommodate out-of-round linear striping. Both Tom and Ron use off-set as a way add a little bling to small jewelry items such as pendants, earrings, and small boxes.
Off axis methods may sound strange when applied to bowls and platters but the results can be striking! No longer centered, these vessels work best as presentation platters, candy dishes or places to drop your keys.
The Granite State Woodturners meeting runs from 9 am to 12 noon or so and will open with coffee and donuts, a meet-and-greet and a chance to win the 50/50 raffle. A question and answer period will follow with a brief chance to show what’s on your lathe. So bring a piece that can be handed around! There will also be wood from Ron’s sawmill for sale, super cheap, with the money going into the Clubs’ newly created scholarship fund.
Ron’s shop is located at 28 Polly Peabody Road in Bedford, NH. It’s a moderately steep dirt road off of New Boston Rd and there should be plenty of parking in Ron’s driveway. But if you park on the road, watch out for the ditch along side and park carefully. As always, please bring your own chairs. See you there!
