[Ben Roman]

Hello, I am interested in starting a woodworking club in Georgetown/Round Rock area and would like to see if I can drum up any interest in establishing one !

Ben: Very interested in your idea and know there are some others that might be also. You might email Tim Solley here in Round Rock, he is a member of SMC. There are many shop jigs, plans, projects and tool information we could share.

There is also a gentleman in Georgetown that is interested. He has a wood meiser and is selling top notch Mesquite and Pecan !!! Woo hoo what a connection

Great timing! Just this morning I was looking to see if there are any woodworking clubs in Austin. There are a couple, but they're all down south. I wanted to start up something real informal up here on the north side of town.

I will definitely volunteer to host any get togethers at my place on the south side of Round Rock. I'm also a homebrewer, and my kegerator just happens to reside in my shop. It can be quite difficult to resist the temptation to indulge myself while woodworking. But alas, I resist until I'm done with the power tools. In any case though, it makes for a great way to attract visitors!

I'm expecting my first born child this week, so I of course will be busy changing diapers, fetching things for my wife, and just generally devoting all my waking time to taking care of others for a while. But things will calm down a bit in a few weeks and I'll definitely be up for a get together.

Oh, and I haven't brewed any beer since my wife got pregnant (I vowed to stop drinking for 9 months to show solidarity...don't ask why...I don't know :p). So I need to get brewing. Time from brewing to drinking is about four weeks. And I'm open to suggestions for styles to brew. I'll probably brew up two five gallon batches.

Okay, enough typing already.

[Ben Roman]

We need a Name !!! Any Suggestions

Well, how about CTS or "Central Texas Woodworkers". Not very creative Huh? Maybe "Longhorn Woodworkers". OK, another lawsuit :) I will continue to give this some thought. Want to add that my home and garage shop is open for meetings also. No home brew, but I can smoke some very good ribs on the smoker.

I posed this one to Ben yesterday. He seemed to get a kick out of it.

[Steve Clardy]

I got a stepson in, or used to be in Georgetown. He used to do a little woodworking.
He's moved, can't think of the town name. Around georgetown and roundrock.
He works for ASC or something like that. They make airplane controls, circuits, etc.

He's been a little busy lately hunting down women and such. Lol
If I had some of you alls email address I'll put him in contact with ya.

Can you pass the word on at the next meeting about the Texas Woodpeckers ???? Or maybe I can swing by the meeting and spread the word.

[Fred Woodward]

I'd be interested too. Can't hurt to be in more than one woodworking club. :D

[Mark Duksta]

I live south but I'd be interested in joining.

I am willing to host a first meeting of the group some night next week. Would Thursday the 10th about 6 p.m. work out for everyone? Nothing real formal, just a shop tour, short meeting and then pitch a few washers and refreshments?

Mike

[Fred Woodward]

Not to steal the thread but, the Fine Woodworkers of Austin club meeting is tonight at 7PM at Woodcraft. Meeting is usually over around 9PM.
Come meet some folks and spread the word about forming a new (additional) club in the Austin area.
Won't cost you anything to attend a meeting as a guest.

Mike,
Sounds great for a first meeting.

[Ben Roman]

Can't make the 10th will be on vacation till the 12th. Maybe we can get together, loose meeting to organize meeting dates and setup a schedule for the club.

Ben: This sound's fine with me. Anytime is OK since I am off these days :)

Fred: Very nice of you to invite us. Basically though, we are for the most part trying to avoid the drive into Austin these days. I guess that's the reason for something up this way. I do get into shop at Woodcraft though and love just to roam around and look.

I am new here, but I am in Georgetown. I would be interested in something up in this area.
