November
Guild General Meeting CANCELLED
Dear Members,
The Guild General Meeting scheduled for November 17 has been cancelled due in part to the close proximity of the Thanksgiving holiday this year.
Our general meetings are normally scheduled for the third Saturday in September, November, February and April and we will continue that tradition into 2019.
Watch Touch-ups and the Guild calendar for info on General Meetings for 2019.
Regards,
Tony Immorlica
Program Chairman

Woodturners Will Need to Register
for this Meeting—Space is Limited!
Granite State Woodturners to meet on Nov 10th.
While Claude specializes in truly fantastic segmented turnings, his bread and butter bowls are twice turned and stacked up to dry like cordwood.
Come join us for a fun morning of reconciling the nearly dry but out-of-round shapes with their future appearance. Claude will demonstrate the moves a bowl gouge needs to make as it selectively removes the warped surface and re-establishes a round vessel. He will also discuss methods of holding, chucking and finishing twice turned efforts.
There is limited parking in his yard but there is an adjacent wood road that should be available.
Should anyone be near Manchester on Monday evenings, newly elected President Ron Marcoux will be turning and answering questions at Manchester MakerSpace on Monday evenings: 10/22, 10/29 and 11/5 from 6 to 8 pm. Come take a peak at the newly re-structured woodshop and check out the metal lathe.
Turn safe!

Announcing the Intermediate Woodworking Projects (IWP) Group
David Foote and Robert Wyatt are excited to announce that
Owain Harris will be host/demonstrator of a new group that the Guild expects to launch sometime during
Spring 2019.
Under Owain’s direction, the IWP group is expected to engage our members in the use of challenging, intermediate level woodworking techniques, and elevating our skills while incorporating these and other traditional methods into an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture.
Owain’s demonstration and discussion topics will cover topics from design considerations to final assembly and finishing over the course of several meetings. The furniture project be something like a table with drawer or a small case piece. Owain expects to introduce into the design, features such as curves, the use of bent lamination, shaping and veneer work.
