MEMBERSHIP DUES
$15.00 Attending members, including new members paid Faye. Thank to all. We are now celebrating our 20th year for DFW Scrollers. We have made lots of friends and learned from one another.
CLUB DEMONSTRATIONS
Preston talked with Woodcraft in Plano to see if they would allow us to do another demo. Scott Wheeler, manager, said yes. They would allow us to demo on the first Saturday of a month. After a discussion, we agreed to try for March 7th. Preston will talk with Mr. Wheeler and report back during our February meeting. Several people said they can bring their saws. And several others agreed to man the tables and talk with customers of the store. Faye reminded us that we need to also bring patterns ready to cut for demo. Final preparations will be made in February. Harmon, Grover and Jo Ann will bring Saws. Others offered to come to help during the day.
ASK THE EXPERTS
Jo Ann stated that she has a project to cut down the size of a plastic book holder that will sit on the shelf. Do I have suggestions on how to cut the plastic. It was pointed out that the book holder is not going to fit in our saws. After several suggestions, my husband, Ken took the project to his shop and cut it out with his hack saw with a 32 tooth blade. Smooth as silk. I knew he would finally figure out how to accomplish this. But it took him about 45 minutes to cut. Not sure how many more she wants cut.
BRAG TABLE
Jo Ann showed her cardinal crosses in ornament size and full size using a Sue Mey pattern Grover showed his very detailed trivet. Very interested to see how it looks when he’s finished. Ice, snow and very low temperatures have delayed his cutting. Bob showed several items that he cut with Diana Thompson’s compound patterns. Bob did show that in the very small and delicate parts, he added CA glue to strengthen item before sanding and painting. Beverly and Preston cut three angels and attached them to be able to use them as a tree topper. Beverly also cut compound feathers and attached them to cowboy hats. Both projects beautiful Faye cut 2 mallard duck plaques. She used different thicknesses of woods as well as different colored paint. (2) Faye also cut 2 military ornaments using colored backers.
DEMONSTRATION
Faye gave a demo using shelf paper on the front and back of her projects. Front is the clear paper and the back is covered with the solid shelf paper. The solid back allows her to see the holes for cutting easier.
Thank you Faye
