Summer Trip to Andrew Pearce Bowls

Summer Trip—July 17
Get ready for a great Guild Summer Trip to the workshop of
Andrew Pearce Bowls in Hartland, VT. Andrew Pearce has been making wooden bowls since setting up his shop about 6 years ago not too far from his father’s Simon Pearce handmade glass shop in Quechee. Andrew’s wooden bowls are made from locally sourced cherry and black walnut logs, and we will see the entire operation from coring to finishing. Since the factory in in full swing only on weekdays, we have scheduled our visit for a Wednesday, July 17th. For a preview of our tour, go to
andrewpearcebowls.com/pages/makers-story and click on the video.
Andrew Pearce is located at 59 Woodstock Road (Route 4), Hartland, VT, between Quechee and Woodstock, and Google Maps will get you there; it’s a little over an hour’s drive up beautiful Interstate 89 from Concord, NH. Our tour will begin at 10 a.m. when the store and workshop open.
As always, spouses are invited to attend and registration on the Guild web site is required; be sure to indicate if you will be joining the group for lunch so we can make reservations.

Period Furniture Meeting—May 11
May 11 PFG subgroup will meet at Steve Belair’s shop in Auburn NH.
Steve’s shop address is 124 Pond View Auburn NH. Reminder to sign up and bring a chair! This will be the last meeting before our summer hiatus. We are appreciative of Steve’s offer.
Results of our query about the next PFG project will be announced and we will have discussions about that project. Our role in the updated web site blogging beta testing will be discussed. There will also be a presentation about the much maligned miter joint. Pointers for success, types, clamping, etc will be discussed. Mastery of this joint is important to the success of many projects.

Guild Day at Woodcraft
Looking for a Few Good Volunteers!
The
second Saturday in June - Guild Day at Woodcraft - has been a tradition for many years. This is a unique opportunity for us to get out in front of people with an interest in woodworking and recruit new members; invariably, some people join the Guild on-the-spot.
How about volunteering to demonstrate your favorite aspect of our hobby or profession – whatever appeals to you? Woodcraft will provide a bench, power, and even some stationary shop tools like a lathe. You need only bring your skills, hand tools and some wood to work.
Owain Harris will also be there giving a class on veneering.
The store hours are 9 am to 5 pm and you can devote the entire day or just a morning or afternoon.
It’s a lot of fun and you get to interact with all sorts or woodworkers.
We will also have Guild literature available for you to distribute.
If you would like to volunteer for
Guild Day at Woodcraft in Newington, NH, on June 8, please email me and let me know what you would like to demonstrate.

League of NH Craftsman Fair
Spread the word about the our participation in the League of NH Craftsman Fair by setting up a display of the item you plan to donate to the Guild at your local town library.
I asked my library if I could display these boxes for a couple weeks with the card shown in the picture and they were happy to do it.
A great way to increase the attendance and chance of selling more raffle tickets.
If you need help with the display or Guild cards to go with it let me know and I will try to help.

Grant Program Supports
Three NH Schools
TBig grins from eight grade
Ava Lambert as she finishes her first project and soon-to-be pizza cutter on the Rikon lathe donated by the Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers.
The Guild has supplied complete machinery grants to three southern New Hampshire schools, while supporting tool grants to four others.
Accompanying these large grants were additional chucks, tool rests, faceplates, safety spurs (Jon Siegel's design) and personal protective equipment provided by the Granite State Woodturners, the Seacoast Woodturners Club and The Home Depot.
The funding for these grants is derived entirely from raffle profits realized from donations made by wondrously generous Guild members and sold at the Sunapee Fair.
Thanks, everyone!
