PROGRAM –President Roy stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Phil Moran (one of our own) who would be presenting his version of “WOOD WORKING IN YOUR GARAGE”. It is interesting that many of our members remember starting our shops with very few tools and a minimum of space in which to work. Thanks to garages and the ability to move to the outdoors. Phil had many ways in which to expand the capability of his tool complement by some very simple modifications. Each tool was configured to hang on the garage wall and placed in like operations to reduce the searching time for a tool. Phil also has a few designs that are available to replicate if a member sees a need. Thanks to Phil and we look forward to more of his projects in the future. Don’t forget to help Vice President Greg Hull by keeping a lookout for anything that would be of interest to our members and thank him for his efforts to bring us a program each month.

PROGRAM –President Roy stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Verne Christensen who comes to us by way of Jim Dunlap. Verne is a quintessential (ultimate) expert on LOUIS SULLIVAN and his involvement in the structure of buildings around the years starting in1880. Designs such as this have disappeared in current times as we move toward the stainless steel and glass structures. Many of the buildings deigned in those early years were banks (Jesse James and his gang did their banking in these very same buildings). Verne and Jim Dunlap are proud owners of several molds that were used to fabricate the ornate blocks used to fabricate several buildings. We always enjoy reviewing our past history and methods Lee’s SUMMIT WOODWORKERS GUILD, INC. OCTOBER 09, 2018 MONTHLY MEETING MINUTES President Roy Wall called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS: It is that time again “PLEASE VOLUNTEER” PROGRAM –Vice President Greg stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Member Mike Chapman and would be about a MID CENTURY MODERN CHAIR -CUSTOMIZED. This would be a design that he modified from features defined in other chairs that were more to his liking and need. As with most projects of this type it is the patterns that are essential to building a replica of a vintage chair, but there are times when the “EYES VIEW” is the tool that is required to fabricate that one special piece. Mike showed in detail the many joints that were used and the fact that very few mechanical fasteners were required due in part to their slip fit. When a fine furniture piece such as a chair is finished the question still remains “Is a chair meant for sitting or display?”. Thanks to Mike and we look forward to more of his projects. Don’t forget to help Vice President Greg Hull by keeping a lookout for anything that would be of interest to our members and thank him for his efforts to bring us a program each month.

PROGRAM –President Roy stated that the program for tonight was all about JIGS and FIXTURES. We appreciate everyone that had fixtures or jigs to display and were able to describe their function. It is interesting to note that many projects require some sort of fixture or jig to enable what you are working on to be assembled correctly. Also as a side note it sometimes works out that the fixture is the item that should be put on display. We thank everyone who took the time to review their items so that others might duplicate their efforts or see another way that they might approach their project.

PROGRAM –President Roy introduced Dave Dresnick who is owner of SUPERIOR GRINDING in Raytown. He walked us through a video of his shop and the equipment that is necessary to sharpen various pieces of woodworking equipment. He stated that their shop was not one filled with multi thousand dollar equipments but one with experienced operators (many of which have been with them for over ten years). It was interesting to note that they did many FOREST BLADES for cabinet shops and the cost was reasonable. We thank everyone who had blades to be sharpened and passed results stated by our members is that you will be happy with the results. We thank DAVE for giving of his time and sharing his wealth of knowledge in the sharpening business.
