Segmented Symposium
The Segmented Symposium is coming up in October and president Malcolm Tibbetts is encouraging those that are planning to attend to register soon to give the board a better idea of the number of attendees. At the 2010 symposium at Arrowmont had 103 attendees not counting Board members or demonstrators. Register on the symposium registration page. The instructions are here.
There have been several entries to the Winter Challenge. The current challenge is to make a feature ring. This is not for a completed vessel, just the feature ring. There are currently sixteen entries. There are unique and beautiful entries which shows the creativity that we have. If you are a member go check out the photos. Submissions are due by April 15th, after which the voting will be opened.
Forum
- Glues – Dennis Keeling recently published a book in which he discussed the best uses for white PVA and yellow aliphatic type glues. This resulted in a forum thread discussion which brands these are and about the improvements in white PVA.
- Using Google Sketchup – This discussion was to find out if anyone uses to design vessels and if so, how. There are some power users of Sketchup that contributed the pros and cons, and their favorite plugins.
- Double Sided Tape – There is a good discussion about which type of double sided tape to use and how to remove any residue from your work.
- Thickness sanding small rings – Member Tom Kenyon shares the design and use of a jig he built for sanding small (<5") rings on his Performax 16-32 thickness sander.
- Sanding Open Segmented Vase – This thread, started by member Bill Bulloch, asks for suggestions on sanding the inside of his new vessel. Discussion included options for building the vessel and cautions about techniques for sanding the inside.
