January 2012 Meeting
Written by William C Hall Sunday, 08 January 2012 20:40
Hey Keystoners,
Happy New Year! Winter is just around the corner. Or maybe it’s spring. It’s hard to tell when it’s sixty degrees in January! This is the time of year when a lot of turners spend the most time making woodchips. Hopefully you are getting some turning time in this winter!
Color Your World – Working with Analine Dyes!
Adding color to your work opens up a new world of possibilities. Analine dyes are easy to work with, forgiving, and fun. But they're a little weird to work with at first if you don't know what to expect. I will discuss and demonstrate the methods of preparing the wood and the dyes, applying and mixing colors, and different finishing techniques. I'll give a demonstration on how to color your work with water based analine dyes.
Show and Tell
When is the last time you brought something to Show and Tell? Make it a point to bring something this time. Show and Tell is one of the great things about being in a turning club. At Keystone Woodturners we have turners of all levels including newbies, intermediate, advanced and some of the best turners in Pennsylvania. Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or are selling your turnings at high end shows, bring something and show it. Everyone will gain something through the discussions of techniques, design, challenges, solutions, mistakes and recoveries. If you are a new turner, bring some stuff in and get some feedback on how to move the next level. If you are intermediate or advanced, bring something in to help you move up, maybe learn something, or share some wisdom with the crowd. It’s all good. Do it for the club!
Dues - 2012 Dues are Due, Dude - $20 for the year. The dues cover the costs of renting the school, insurance, outside demonstrators and other costs. It would be a bargain at twice the price!
See you on January 18th!
Jim Kelly
Next Meeting - Wednesday May 16th

Hey Keystoners!
Hey Guys sorry for late notice here but our WEB MASTER Bill is a new daddy and has his hands full. Mother and baby doing fine. So congrats!
The wood Auction is at 7:00pm at Dave Souza's Shop 76 Jackson Rd Gibertsville PA 19525
Bring some good wood, as Jim Kelly said in his email it should hurt a little to give it up. This is our only fund raiser so the more you bring the more we make! We can also auction off donated tools, supplies, whatever you care to donate.
We will have a show and tell, these are a great chance to discuss your piece and share with others. Also bring a chair or two. Any Questions contact Rob Shafer 610-850-1189
