During June online meetings, members displayed a variety of projects in the Show & Tell portion of the meetings.  Below are some of the pieces shown during the meetings!  As we receive more of the photos, they will be added.

From the June 7th Woodworking SIG meeting:

Don Vanderveer's grandson lives in New York City.  While home for the pandemic, he asked his grandfather to build a coffee table for his apartment.  He wanted a glass top with room underneath to insert various memorabilia.  The table is made of red oak bought from Memphis Hardwood Lumber.  He used a variety of joinery techniques when building the table including mortise & tenon joints and pocket screws.  Details on the legs and bottom shelf were accomplished with a V grove router bit.  Shipping to NYC is the grandson's responsibility! 

Bo Rinn showed everyone this Lemonade cart he built for his kids.  He sends along this story ... My mom saved my KoolAid pitcher from the 70's and sent it to me for my kids when they were preschoolers.  It inspired me to make a lemonade cart for them. I wanted to include shelves on the back and an ice cooler like the carts at fairs.  I carved a little lemonade pitcher for the handle . I couldn’t find a plan online so I made it up myself, trying to use as few hardware joinery as possible.  Kreg was used a little where necessary though.  I have only $27 in it using hardware store purchases, plus the wheels.  I’ve spent twice that in lemonade purchases since it was built!  A friend sewed the canopy from bargain bin drape material.  

Ray Smith created this beautiful cherry bowl.

Bruce Trexler's son loves to fly fish.  He likes to make his own flies as part of the experience.  He was looking for a fly tying station when his 10 year old son, Bruce's grandson, found a photo in a catalog.  The grandson said, "Grandpa could make this!"  
This fly tying station is the result.  Made of maple plywood and hardwood, it includes everything an avid fly tyer would need!

Steve Sabella completed a variety of projects.   At the top is this BlueTooth boombox of padauk and maple. 
The challis is a special one - it is called a Pythagorean Cup.  It is a practical joke device in a form of a drinking cup credited to Pythagoras of Samos.  It looks like a normal drinking cup, but when filled beyond a certain point, a siphoning effect causes the cup to drain the entire contents through the base.  Water is seen draining from the cup in the photo.
The last item is Steve's chip and dip bow based on the demonstration by John McCabe at the March 10th meeting.  His is maple with a walnut oil and wax finish.  His wife, Deb, sees it as an M&M bowl with peanut M&Ms in the center.  I bet she wins!

Robert Ward presented two portrait pictures he scrolled in memory of two dogs. 
He also sent along a collection of photos of other projects he's worked on since the May Show & Tell session.  They are in the slideshow below.

John Petzke created this light box on the scrollsaw using Baltic birch plywood and a $6.88 light kit with remote switch from Walmart. He used wipe-on poly for the finish.
John is new to the scrollsaw and learning fast.
 

From the June 9th Turning SIG meeting:

Mike Vecellio showed ice cream scoops whose blanks he created.  You can see through the left scoop's handle.  He showed a 28 segment Sierra pen.  An article about creating the blank will be in the July newsletter.  
​Mike also showed two bowls "from a board".  One from a piece of 3/4 inch paneling, and then a cherry and maple bowl with the Odies Oil finish.

Ward Vuillemot showed a cube within a cube based on the May demonstration by Robert Love.
Additionally, he showed two tamarind swivel top boxes - both from the same piece of wood showing the immense variation possible in one piece.

Scott Chester turned this spalted maple bowl.  He originally wanted a shiny finish and used lacquer but wasn't happy with the results.  After discussion with another member, he put the bowl back on the lathe, turned off the lacquer finish and applied 8 coats of tung oil.  He and his wife are very happy with the results.

While in Florida, a neighbor gave Rod Castle the hexagonal 'posters' from a bed figuring he could use them for something.  Rod used the maple to make antique peppermills. 
Rod also sent along photos of five of his very popular crush-grind peppermills as well as backscratchers. 

Jim Yonkers showed two of his recently completed projects.  One was a ash pot that he colored with green aniline dye and then applied liming wax.  He showed the bottom where he added a coat of epoxy to the end grain to hopefully prevent it from cracking.
He also demonstrated how his hummingbird moves down the 'stick'.
More of Jim's recent projects are on the Virtual Gallery page here.

Ed Siegel showed a very think spalted maple bowl that he turned using a piece of crotch wood from the tree he dropped in his yard a year or two ago.  During the demonstration, he also showed his segmented hollow form of purpleheart and ash.

Dave Grant showed an ice cream bowl and scoop.  Made of poplar, red oak, black walnut, Baltic birch plywood, and of course… cherry on top. Finished with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and chopped pecans.   Oh, the wood!  Finished wet sanded with two coats of antique oil and one coat of Odie’s oil.  Buffed with Beall buffing system. 

Larry Prunotto showed a pet urn he is creating.  You can personalize the urn with engravings of the pet's paws and name.

Ray Smith will soon be welcoming a grandchild into the family.  In preparation for the event he created a series of three bowls - one for daddy, one for mommy, and one for the baby!
