Our March meeting will begin at 7:00 PM. Doors to the meeting room will open at 6:30 for some socializing. We will start with a short business meeting followed by our demonstration. The March meeting demonstration will be "Different Ways to Create a Hand Made Pen". Our demonstrators will be our own members Douglas Cummings and Kevin Seiler who will each discuss ways to create a custom turned pen from start to finish. The demonstrators will each pick a different method to do each task and discuss the different approaches, tooling, and thought processes behind each method. We will discuss sources of the needed pen specific items, fountain vs refill-based pens, tools for making a pen (both component and bespoke) and as the night progresses, cover handling different materials, mounting and turning techniques, assembly and finishing. At the end of the demo, we will have a finished pen! The meeting will also be simulcast via ZOOM.
