We are saddened by the death of Marvin Moore, who was a Tennessee Valley

the local Hillsboro community. Marvin worked at AEDC in the Propulsion
Wind Tunnel Test Facility and retired from there as a Facilities Craft
Supervisor in 1994.

Shop Tours
The September
shop tour was great. it was attended by app 15 people and we had 5
presenters at Henry Davis’ shop. The tour centered around using our
talents to not only reimburse ourselves for project expenses but
also utilizing the craft fair market and internet to find customers
for our items. in addition, John hartin gave a great presentation on
utilizing our talents for helping in the community with charities.
He showed us how to be part of the need that is in our communities
for helping raise money and at the same time letting folks know what
we do as a club and individuals.
Projects
The woodworkers club really gained a lot of
attention from the job of restoring the front doors for the new CEO
from Harton Hospital. The Club ended up with 9 people taking part in
the project that included stripping and restoring two 8ft hand
carved chestnut doors. Paul Jalbert did a fantastic job of doing (4)
carvings to replace the old medallions that were original to the
doors and everyone else teamed up to take down the doors and
complete the work and put them back up. Thanks to Henry Davis for
the use of his shop for a week to complete the work. The project
realized a $500 donation for the club after expenses and are in the
process of investing that into a community project in Tullahoma
designing and installing a wheel chair ramp for a family with a
great need. The Club is combining our talents with those of the
Kings Cross Church work group and the project is headed up by Paul
Jalbert. More to follow at the meeting.

Shop Tip
 |
Glue
residue: uncover it with Naphtha
Before staining, wipe your project with a cloth dampened with
naphtha to reveal any areas where glue still resides. Sand any
problem surfaces and repeat the naphtha test. To avoid this
problem altogether, try staining adjoining surfaces before
initially gluing them. Mask mating joint surfaces, protecting
them from stain, and apply glue to raw wood only.
