Jim's Work

Here it is,  Jim's piece o display at art prize.    i think it shows pretty well.
Well done Jim.  Congratulations.

I am overwhelmed

1,453 works of art in 170 venues at the Grand Rapids Art Prize.
Our  club and the woodturning community is well represented by Jim Rutledge's piece "Ancient Arrowheads". I think I recognize one other UP turner J Marc Himes.
I hope to get a few pictures of the turnings on display later today.

Video System Update

After our meeting last Saturday Steve and Tom got together and started working on the cage that will hold the cameras and lights.  It will also have a shield to protect the audience from "Unguided Missiles".  The frame is 1" square steel on casters.
Below are a few snapshots of our work in progress.

Below is the material that is left over.  Steve figures the jobs pretty close.
