Next Meeting. Thursday 3rd April 6.45pm.
Joint venture by Alan Geddes and Nick Simpson. 1st Shield Competition for 2025 handled by Nick Simpson. The subject matter for the competition is Money Boxes.
I have looked on line for some ideas on money boxes, I have to tell you that there are precious few that have some turning requirements with them, most have some other types of woodwork involved and the shapes are of cabinetmaker standard, however I’m sure you will all be able to come up with something that can represent a money box, do remember all 3 categories are tasked with doing a money box, and there are no other criteria required.
In the picture below I have shown 3 money boxes that have no turning at all, in light of the very limited ideas for turned money boxes, this type of box will be acceptable on this occasion.
It will be interesting to see what you all come up with, this is quite a challenge and it will require you to think out of the box, pardon the pun.
Good luck to everyone who enters, and I hope that will be many in all 3 categories. Alan Geddes is tasked with manning the lathes for this meeting, we understand there will be a full complement.
Tea and coffee is free, and there will be the usual raffles.
