The September meeting will be at 7:00 pm on the 20th at the University of Tennessee Space institute, room H111.
The September program will be presented by Loyd
Ackerman. Loyd’s presentation, entitled “The Computer as a Woodworking
Tool”, will discuss uses for computers in woodworking and demonstrate
how your computer can be used to get the most out of what the Club
provides to the members.
Looking forward to seeing you at the September 20th meeting.
More information will be available on these events as the time draws near.

For sanding irregular shapes, inside cuts, and rounded edges, try
this trick.
You can't beat sandpaper wrapped around foam pipe insulation for getting
those difficult areas smooth.
Cut the insulation about 8" long, insert the edge of a piece of
sandpaper into the slit in the insulation, and wrap it tightly. Secure
the paper with masking tape. You are now ready to tackle those difficult
shapes.
The insulation provides backing for the sandpaper but gives enough to
follow the contour of the workpiece. If you need more rigidity, insert
dowel the same diameter as the inside of the insulation.
