Toy Workshops with Hal Liberty
Two Saturdays..
Toy Workshop 1 -- Oct 6
Toy Workshop 2 -- Oct 13
Please Register
The purpose of the workshops is to make toys for needy children. I have a group that will try to find clients in the out reaches of the state that have children that need toys. I have committed at least 300 toys for this program.
Woodworkers should bring protective gear that they prefer. I have eye, dust and ear protection for those that need them.
The workshop will run from 9:00AM to 12:00PM and will continue at 1:00 PM to 3:00PM. I will provide drinks and snacks but suggest one should bring a lunch if staying for AM and PM.

Granite State Woodturners
Turns to New Officers!
Granite State Woodturners met Saturday, September 21st at the Merrimack High School Wood Shop to elect a new slate of officers and set the first of its upcoming program dates and times.
Past president Claude Dupuis organized the meeting, coffee and munchies and arranged the voting for a slate of new officers.
The new officers are: Ron Marcoux of Bedford as President, Claude Dupuis of Canterbury as Past President, Dr. Annamarie Pennucci of Portsmouth as Vice President, Terri Kershow of Somersworth as Secretary and Jim Forbes of Kittery, Maine as Treasurer. We offer our thanks and best wishes to outgoing officers David Belser, Eric Swindell and Tim Elliot. We wish them a future of health, happiness and terrific turning.
Thanks to our super-talented host, Phil Carle, thirteen members also enjoyed a chance to turn a lidded bowl for our Lidded Bowl and Box Project. The bowls all went home with members for finishing and will become a critical part of the needed autumn inventory. Thanks, everyone, especially Phil!
Granite State Woodturners is an AAW affiliate, and enjoys one of the largest number of Guild members of any subgroup. We welcome all back to our bimonthly Saturday meetings as well as to our proposed how-to meetings at Manchester Maker Space.
Our next scheduled Saturday meeting will be November 10th, 9am to 1pm at Claude Dupuis's shop in Canterbury. Come see what a years' worth of twice turned bowls looks like in a beautifully organized upstairs shop. Claude will be discussing twice turned stock preparation and demonstrating ways to approach the out-of round nature of twice turned blanks. The demonstration will take place downstairs in his garage so dress appropriately and please bring chairs and cash for munchies. We will have time for general discussion, program requests and suggestions, and a quick show and tell. Please bring your problems and questions and we'll all try to help.
The January 10, 2019 meeting will be at Ron Marcoux's shop in Bedford, It is spacious and heated and full of jigs, contraptions and clever solutions. Chairs will be needed and Ron may have lots of green wood available, if the snow is not too deep!
We need folks to host and/or demonstrate at meetings in March, May, July, and September. So please bring your calendars, suggestions and recommendations.
Manchester MakerSpace meetings are still in the planning stage but they are designed to be hands-on demonstrations followed by lots of your flying chips.
Let's jump back in, everyone, and recreate the huge successes of Granite State Woodturners! See you all in Canterbury!

The 12th Old Ways Days will be October 20 & 21 at Dave and Anne Emerson’s Old Ways Traditions, 418 Shaker Road, Canterbury, NH. Old Ways Days features traditional craft demonstrations, especially hands on, operating antique machinery and engines, fun live music, and very good food.
New this year we’ll have more demos, operating machinery run by vintage gas and steam engines, including unusual, unique machines from two of the largest collections in the state. You’ll love Entangled Strings- a six piece band known for memorable versions of Americana and popular favorites. And besides the usual hots and hams and our must have chili there’ll be homemade soup and squash rolls.
Our demos will include blacksmithing, saw milling, broom making, spoon carving, braided rugs, wood turning, and more. Come meet our friendly alpacas. Tools for Kids will have blacksmithing for kids and adults, woodturning and multiple hand tools to try.
Badger’s drift, Americana originals, play mid day Saturday and in the afternoon, traditional Bluegrass by Newfound Grass. Sunday we’ve got Ryan Thompson and son Brennish, as good as Celtic gets, and we wind up with the exciting Entangled Strings.
Old Ways Traditions is located on land of the 1785 Hamm Farm. Well maintained trails provide access to / and enjoyment of fields surrounded by a fascinating variety of stonewalls, woodlands, and a lively brook. The site has a combined antique shop and museum as well as a working wood shop producing Shaker and contemporary accessories.
Saturday October 20 10:00 to 4:00, Sunday October 21 10:00 to 3:00
Old Ways Traditions, 418 Shaker Road. 1 1⁄4 mi. N. of Shaker Village
