Arthur Schloth, (Plastic Lumber RI) brought some 1" thick by 4" x 4" squares of plastic lumber for club members to try out. See for more information about his product. {Emilio Iannucillo reported privately after the meeting: I turned the ballaster made of recycled plastic bottles. It turned like butter. But, the plastic came off in strings that would not break. They wrapped themselves around the turning and made a rats nest. Had to stop the lathe often to clean out the plastic strings. They did not break and had to be pulled off whole. Not a pleasant job. It did get done } Our Steam Engine : George Nazareth brought up getting the club steam engine resurrected to display at the AAW Symposium in Hartford in June. Larry Dunklee and Bill Smith are trying to find the fly wheel of the steam engine which seems to have disappeared from the Mill where it was stored. A police report will filed. NEW BUSINESS: Wayne mentioned that a friend of his has a Yoga business in Fall River, MA. She will allow club members to display turnings in her place (details need to be worked out). Show and Tell.
