included demonstrations, movies, and speakers. Speakers have included a saw mill operator, a fourth generation cabinetmaker, decoy carver, salesman from a finishing company, professional woodcarver, and an author and professor of wood technology. Also member's projects are regularly on display at each meeting.

Special interest groups meet monthly in the home/shop of one of the members. Current interest groups are refinishers/finishers, carvers, and woodturners. Displays or work have been presented at a Christmas Show and at the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce Spring Show.

A monthly newsletter keeps members informed about woodworking activities and events. Club t-shirts and an official logo identify the organization and its members.

Projects include: annual Kishwaukee Woodworker's Scholarship Award to an area high school junior, senior, or recent graduate, repairing picture puzzles and toys for elementary schools, publishing an area Woodworker's Directory, encouraging local libraries to subscribe to woodworking periodicals, and mass producing wooden toys for distribution

to low-income children at Christmas.

Meetings are free and open to the public on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the New Commons of DeKalb High School. Membership is available (to help support the newsletter and other projects) at $10/year and $5/year (full-time students and senior citizens).

Do you know of a woodworking club in the Los Angeles/Orange County area?

In the July/August 1982 issue you published a letter from me requesting information about a source of wood

turnings that I wanted in order to complete certain projects. I was overwhelmed by the response from so many of the readers and cannot possibly answer each one personally. I would like therefore, to make this one expression of thanks to you and to each of the people who wrote to me.

Ken Bachand, Indialantic, FL

I would like to build Shaker-style ladder back chairs. Can you suggest any books that will provide helpful information?

Great airbrushing is for the The Binks birds.

The Raven and Wren will do just about anything an artist or craftsperson will want to do. And, do it easier.

That's because they're precision engineered for great performance And because they're made with the finest materials available. (We even made them to be serviced in the field, by you.)

They're strong, versatile, and reliable... the only airbrushes you'll ever need.
