As per the NYS Governor's orders, all PHYSICAL club events continue to be cancelled until further notice due to the Covid-19 virus.

More guidance will be provided to members as the situation changes.  Please be patient and safe during this unusual time.  

We have Zoom virtual demonstrations until we can be together again.  Members will receive email notices about each event.  Each event scheduled is posted below.  Check back regularly for updates.

What Demonstrations/Sessions Do You Want to See?

The Board of Directors is looking for suggestions from members for demonstrations and demonstrators.  Demonstrations can be held in the club workshop at Eight Acres (just down from the firehouse).  We want to work with our membership to provide what they want during this unusual time.  Please contact your Committee Chair (see the newsletter for contact info) or send an email to woodcny@gmail.com to present your request.

Shop Safety
with Robert Ward

Sponsored by the Scrolling SIG

We continue our focus on safety by presenting a discussion on Workshop Safety lead by Robert Ward.  While workshop safety is not a "sexy" or "hot" demo topic, it is an urgent topic to remind yourself of the many potential issues that can occur if we don't pay attention.  This session is open an excellent session for everyone to attend and will be a great learning opportunity!
The session will be held via Zoom.  All members and guests are welcome to join in this session.  If you are not a member, send a note to woodcny@gmail.com to request an invite.

Tool Making
with Jim Yonkers

Sponsored by the Turning SIG

Picture
Lathe tools are expensive and often we purchase a tool for a specific purpose that is used infrequently or not at all.  What if you make some of your own tools - especially those that are for special situations?  Jim Yonkers will lead this demonstration on making tools using commonly available supplies.   If you've made a tool, please send a photo of it with relevant descriptive information to the club email - woodcny@gmail.com. 
The session will be held via Zoom.  All members and guests are welcome to join in this session.  If you are not a member, send a note to woodcny@gmail.com to request an invite.

Scroll Saw Maintenance
with Robert Ward

Sponsored by the Scrolling SIG

My scroll saw isn't working - it doesn't hold the blades.  I haven't used my scroll saw in a while.  What should I do?  These and other questions will be answered during our demonstration in February lead by Robert Ward.  Another "non-sexy" topic but one that  will likely help you address a myriad of problems with the scroll saw.  We will try to cover issues on every saw.  
The session will be held via Zoom.  All members and guests are welcome to join in this session.  If you are not a member, send a note to woodcny@gmail.com to request an invite.
Following the demonstration, there will be plenty of time for Show & Tell.
