Popular Post Rolf Posted September 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Getting excited! this is our "Long Island Woodworkers" first show since the Pandemic started. It is also the first time at this venue. All aspects of woodworking will be represented and demonstrated within reason. The scrollers will have saws setup, the turners a couple of lathes with on going demonstrations. I made the Koala's in the middle of the flyer back in 2009. I am really looking forward to seeing what our members have created in the last three years.

OCtoolguy Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 I sure wish we still had those shows here. But rents got so high and then they added parking on top so folks quit attending. Have fun Rolf. Pics please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted September 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I will do what I can on the pictures. I think there will be a $16 entry fee which is for the museum no additional charge for our show . Parking is free. Club members are free, at least those of us that are working it.

Fish Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 I’d love to be there but to far away. I wish someone would do that back my way. More focused on scroll saw work. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 The Show was great! We were setup in the main entrance which is a huge atrium with lots of natural light. A very busy three days Friday was setup and then Saturday and Sunday. We had to be completely out by 5 on Sunday. It will take me a bit to go through my pictures. This is a picture of one of the Scrollers tables, my friends Bob and Joe (also test cutters for the magazine) We raffle off the tree with all of the ornaments. Also on the table are two of my clocks that draw in lots of people. The other is our group project where we all take a project out of one issue. and the other is with my Intarsia piece that got a first place ribbon.

Scrappile Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 MORE! MORE! MORE! I really envy you, looks like a lot of fun. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Rolf.....your Intarsia is some of the best I have seen. The parts really fit together. However, your shaping should be an example to others. Too many people just found the edges but yours are shaped extremely well and bring out a 3D effect.

Bill WIlson Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I've always believed that intarsia is much like carving, in that to be done well, one must be able to "see" the image in 3D, when looking at a flat piece of wood. It's a skill that not everyone has. I know I don't. OCtoolguy and Rolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munzieb Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 It looks like it was a great show. Impressive building too. Amazing wood working. For all the times I drove out to Islip and Farmingdale I should made some time to visit the museum. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments. I had been to the Museum back in the 80's. One of my friends volunteers there as a model builder for the displays. he made the connection for the club. He also gave me a tour of the rest of the museum. It cornicles the history of aviation on Long Island. WOW. what was accomplished long before computers bogles my mind. A view from a small part of the area from the balcony. Also some fretwork, two are Charles Hand designs , I did the winter scene and Wolf, my friend Bob did the summer cottage and the big intarsia. The paper cut looking piece is one of the several scrollers that really showed me the fretwork techniques when I first started crolling.
