The Call of the Lathe CAW President: Tom Boley I got my first “paycheck” as a full time woodturner about a week ago. I had been turning as a profession for four weeks at that time and was pleased that one of our church members called to ask if she could stop by to look at some pens for gifts. She bought two, which meant that my first four weeks of effort had now grossed $50. Does that make it worthwhile or what! I keep telling myself (and Judi) that we have to be patient as there is a slow start-up curve which I must navigate before I hit the big time. My cousin is a glass- blower and is nationally recognized for his work. However, I remember that he went through several years as a starving artist before he hit his groove. I don’t think that I could be called a starving artist, but starving crafter may be accurate. In looking over what I wrote about this last month, I counted ten specific tasks I needed to accomplish in the near term. So far, I have been able to make headway on three of them. But I love it so far and Judi still supports the idea. Maybe I’m like the guy who fell off the cliff – about halfway down he was thinking “so far, so good.” We are now a corporation: Capital Area Woodturners, Inc. As of 20 Sep 04, we were approved by the State Corporation Commission. There are several next steps. We will need to vote to allow CAW, Inc. to take over all the assets of CAW. While we have already voted to accept the new Bylaws upon incorporation, there is a change which already must be done. The new Bylaws require us to elect seven directors of the corporation who will also function as officers. These are president, VP, secretary, treasurer, program director, show director, and newsletter editor. At the October meeting, I will recommend that we change that to elect the first six and have the newsletter editor be an appointed position. There are a few other formalities which we must observe and our attorney member, Ross Horton, will guide us as we take up the corporate mantle. Since we will have a guest turner that day, we will try to move through the administrative stuff quickly. I want to thank Phil Brown for being our point of contact for information about members who are involved in craft shows, exhibits, galleries, and other activities involving woodturning. I think he is frustrated that we don’t all think of him automatically when we get involved in something so that he is able to include it in the list of members’ activities. Phil, thanks for what you do on this. Members, please remember to let Phil know at [email protected]or 301-767- 9863 when you do something of this nature so that he can consolidate all our activities and pass it on to Jim Marstall, our newsletter editor, for publication. It’s great to see how our members are both active in the craft and active in showing off the craft.

Call of the Lathe (Cont’d from page 1)
I have told you before how much I appreciate everyone lending a hand to help set up for meetings and to put things away at the end each month. Thanks to all who come early and stay late to help. We are still in need of someone who will take on the task of making the coffee and putting it away when the meeting is over. That can be one or two people, but I would sure like to have someone offer to take it on each meeting. Because of the time it takes to brew, it needs to be someone who will be there when we first get in the school at about 0800. Putting it all away must be done by someone who usually stays until the demo is done. We have had several who have done it from time to time, for which I am very grateful, but we need someone who can do it just about every time. Please let me know if that would be you. Since my home computer has been down hard for over a week, I am writing this on my neighbor’s computer. But he doesn’t have all my historical files so I am somewhat flying blind here. If you need me, please call at 703-569-2548 as I usually only check e-mail now about once a day at the library or the neighbors’. Until the next meeting, you know what calls to me and where I will be. Come on over if you want.

Woodturning Classes
Aaron Grebeldinger will teach Bowl Turning at WOODCRAFT in Springfield on Thursday, November 18, 6pm - 9:30pm and Thursday, December 9, from 6pm - 9:30pm.
Richard Allen will again teach Introduction To The Lathe there on Sundays, October 3, November 7, and December 5th from 10 am to 5 PM.
John Noffsinger will teach a three-session class in using hand held hollowing tools for turning hollow vessels on Mondays, October 11, 18 & 25th, and again November 8, 15 & 22nd from 6 - 9 PM. Limited to four students, this class requires
knowledge from basic and intermediate classes or equivalent experience. Call the WOODCRAFT store at 703-912-6727 for details on any of these classes and to register.
Technology Park Showcase The display will come down
Friday October 15 at 1pm. Please come at that time if you want to pick up your unsold pieces immediately. Otherwise, Frank Stepanski and I will have them at our houses for pick-up or bring them to the next skill enhancement or club meeting. The address is Washington Technology Park, 15000 Conference Center Drive, Chantilly, VA 22021-3808 AU Gallery Show Normal gallery sales doubled to $7,000 during the show so AU and the gallery staff are very happy with the results. The gallery is developing a color post card that can be sent to announce future shows and further increase sales. New Programs The budget for outreach programs has been set at $3,200. This doubles last year’s budget & represents a firm commitment to support the educational activities of AU members and guilds. A series of bi-monthly seminars on the business of selling craft work is being planned for 2005. They will be free to AU members & have a small fee for non-members. When I get details on the dates, I’ll pass them along.
Artisans Center of Virginia Start planning for next year! AU is contracting to provide pieces for a show from September 22 through November 1, 2005. Each guild will provide 5 pieces, which will be gathered at the AU gallery where Artisans Center of Virginia staff will select 35 to 40 pieces for the show. The center will take 40%, all work must be for sale, and all work will be insured for 60% of the sale price. There will be a reception in
Waynesboro on Saturday, September 24, 2005, from 2 to 4pm. If you go to the Virginia woodturning symposium, check out the gallery & be thinking about making a piece for this show. Typical show prices range from $300 & up with amounts over $1,000 not being uncommon. CAW will need to set up a jury process to select the 5 pieces we can contribute.
Arlington Central Library The library is making juried display space available. Call 703-228-7721 to get information and an application. Deadlines are Feb 1, May 1, Aug 1, & Nov 1.
Election Day in November
It is not only the national election which will be held in November. CAW, Inc. will hold its first election of the new corporate Board of Directors at the November meeting. I have appointed our Past President, Bob Pezold, to be a one-man nominating committee. He will see if any of the current officers would like to stand for re-election and he will be your point of contact if any of you would like to run for an office. If you are either dissatisfied with the way things are going or would like to just run for office, please see Bob at the meeting or contact him at home at 703-799-1034.

AAW Conference Summary
The AAW Conference Committee Chair, Angelo Iafrate, provided a summary of the Orlando Symposium recently, from which this condensation is taken. There were 885 attendees (775 pre-registered attendees and 110 on-site registrations - the most ever on-site). They choose from 130 rotations by 32 presenters from 8 different countries. This was our first year with the new 4-camera set up in each demo room, using 3 stationary cameras and 1 movable video camera. The Trade Show had 43 vendors occupying 94 booths in a 20,000 square feet floor space.
The Instant Gallery featured over 500 entrants from those who attended, including samples of work from all of the demonstrators. Unfortunately there were only 6 entrants into the Chapter Collaborative out of 222 Chapters. Rules for the 2005 Collaborative have been released roughly 6 months ahead of the same announcement last year. Additionally, the board will hold the same rules for the Collaborative for the 2006 Symposium so that Chapters needing two years to complete a project can have them and know that they will still be eligible to compete. Our juried show, Sea to Odyssey, showcased 53 works from 40 artists from 6 countries. These works were the cream of the crop and showcased the diversity possible in woodturning. The show can still be viewed at the AAW offices through December 17, 2004.
Saturday night, 1,095 participants attended the banquet. There, at our annual EOG fund-raising auction, 78 pieces went for a record setting $48,488! Next year we meet in Overland Park, Kansas.

If you think that the Show & Tell table from the September
meeting was impressive for the CAW (left), just imagine what the Instant Gallery will look like when all the turning clubs in Virginia get together in November for the First Annual Virginia Woodturning Symposium. Browsing such an Instant Gallery would be worth the price of admission.
Luckily, there will be plenty more to pique our interests, challenge our skills, and fill our “I want to try that” lists. Please start RIGHT NOW to make your plans to attend the symposium. Download the registration form, mail in your reservation, and make your housing arrangements. We’ll plan on seeing you in Waynesboro. Below is some of the information from the web site – location and directions are there.
