Tuesday 14th saw a good turnout at the workshop for Phil Howard’s demonstration of how to turn a three inch thick bowl from a one inch board (I just made up the sizes, but the principle is that you can make something bigger than the original)
Phil has demonstrated for us several times before, he came up to his same high standard again, and he has also written up an amended version of his notes should you want to have a go yourself at home, or at the workshop.

Remember that the next club meeting is tonight Tuesday 14th September, at the workshop in Castle Douglas.
Our demonstrator is Phil Howard, who has demonstrated many times before, and has never disappointed.
The competition item is to make a chess piece, set of draughts, skittles or other game related item.
Jimmy will have the shop open at break time, there will be raffle tickets for sale and may even be some prizes to go with them, so bring some cash (even if it is just for a donation towards the coffee and biscuits).
This is the last meeting before the AGM, so please give some thought to helping the club by serving on the committee, and the post of Chairman is up for annual review, so get your nominations in for new Chairman.
Rolf (current Chairman)

Ready for the demonstration Tuesday, 13th, here are some notes on the holder. Hopefully you can just click on the link below!
Our next meeting will be on 13th July, and we aim for it to be our last one purely on Zoom.
Our demonstrator is the most excellent Mick Schofield who will be demonstrating how to make a Tooth pick holder. It is a lovely thing to make, looks good, has a function, and even if you don’t use tooth picks is fun to play with if you make it right.
The competition for July is to Make a picture frame to hold an image of (Juli)us Caesar. So, in effect, a photo frame.
Despite Covid-19 numbers climbing rapidly at the moment, primarily among the young and unvaccinated, it is my intention to open the club again on the second Tuesday of AUGUST for our normal club nights. I will be the demonstrator and we will adhere to the regulations of the day as best we can. If you can take a lateral flow test before you have your tea on the evening I would appreciate it (plainly if you test positive you will be staying at home) and there will be guidance on hand washing and Track & Trace when you come in. It will be great to see each other in 3D again in August. Numbers will be limited but I expect we will be able to accommodate everyone who wants to come. More information will be available to you all be email, and the web, nearer the date to include current legislation and guidelines.
