There's 99% of the turnout for the first meeting of the chapter, (minus me of course, I was just visiting)

Some of the folks are some scrollers who showed up to learn about turning pens, The rest are the regular club members.

Ned,

Looks like a great group. Nice to see the little girl in the background, keep the kids interested! :thumb:

What was that bowl with the large reddish circles on it!? :huh:

I would have had a hard time keeping my mouth shut about that DC line going above the windows -- that has to be 20+ feet along the wall of flex pipe! Horribly inefficient. They should at least throw some 4" PVC up there along the wall and just have flex for the drops. :eek:
 
Thanks Ned !

Great pictures of our meeting. Thanks for taking and posting them for us. It was real nice to have you visit. I hope you'll be back soon.

Our new AAW chapter is called the Old Country Guild of Woodturners and is based in the New York Capital region. The meeting place is in Schenectady, NY at a school for at-risk kids who basically have no where else to go. The shop program is very popular there with the kids. We are very fortunate that they let us use their space.

Maybe we can help them improve the dust collection. That would be a good project for the Guild as a way to show our appreciation to the school.:thumb:

Art, the bowl you asked about is Norfolk Island Pine from Florida.
