February 2025 notes

Stones River Woodworkers Club Members,


This is a reminder that our meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 25 February 2025
We will meet at St. Marks United Methodist Church in our usual room; 1267 N. Rutherford Blvd. Murfreesboro, TN.  The doors open at 6 PM
If you are bringing a woodworking item to Show & Tell, be sure to fill out a 3”X5” card with your name, item description, and email address. 
From 6 to 6:30 PM is set aside for members to check out the Show & Tell projects and ask questions of our members' Show & Tell projects. 
The meeting’s briefing will start at 6:30 PM.

From the President Sam Clark:

Good day fellow Woodies,

At our January meeting I passed around two wish lists for classes and meeting presentations, and I was informed the lists did not make it to the other side of the room.  At the February meeting we will resend the lists.  Requests on the January lists included help setting up and running CNC equipment.  This may be of interest to our CNC members.  There is a FREE CNC users group meeting at the Franklin Woodcraft the 1st Wednesday of each month.  The next CNC meeting is March 5th at 6pm – 8pm.  You can also keep up with the Nashville CNC User’s Group at facebook.com/groups/nashvillecncusers

Currently, approximately 60% of our members have paid their 2025 dues.  If you are unsure about your dues status, please check with Club Treasurer Larry Counts at the meeting.  I will be submitting our current membership list to Rockler and Klingspour for our 10% discount after our next meeting.  

I hope to see you at our Feb 25th meeting.  Until then continue making sawdust!

Sam Clark, President SRWC

From the Vice President Jason Moore:

Dr. Chris Barton is our presenter at this meeting. He is a retired medical researcher with 30+ years in pharmaceutical development. His future in woodworking started 58 years ago by making a bird feeder. He will be sharing a tour of his shop and some examples of past work. He will be discussing hybrid woodworking (hand and power tools combined) as well as tips and tricks learned over decades of learning the hard way.
Pictures of some of Dr. Barton’s woodwork and projects are attached below.
