I was invited to demo my jewelry<br />
at the Channel Islands Club<br />
(in Ventura) May 25, 2013.<br />
Tom Benham (program chair)<br />
and his wife Andrea were gracious<br />
hosts. They have a lovely<br />
home in <strong>San</strong>ta Barbara. Tom<br />
has a really nice shop (of course<br />
we toured the shop) and had just<br />
received a HUGE load of very<br />
large pieces of beautiful black<br />
acacia which I drooled over.<br />
The club meets at a Middle<br />
School which has a very complete<br />
shop. The meetings are in a<br />
classroom but they have access<br />
to the tool room.<br />
Each of their meetings feature a<br />
show and tell. The club asked<br />
me to be “guest critic” and review<br />
their work.<br />
I had my choice of a Powermatic<br />
or a Delta like we use<br />
for our classes. I picked the<br />
Delta because it works fine for<br />
my small stuff and it was much<br />
easier for them to move into the<br />
classroom.<br />
They have a good AV setup with<br />
a monitor for the demonstrator<br />
which was really nice…I could<br />
see what they were seeing and it<br />
helped me put things in the right<br />
place for the camera.<br />
A number of spouses attended…<br />
probably to make sure the<br />
husbands learned so they could<br />

make some jewelry for their<br />
wives. I think there were about<br />
45-50 in attendance.<br />
It was a really nice group and<br />
they had good questions. I<br />
am looking forward to seeing<br />
some nice pieces come from the<br />
group. I anxiously await seeing<br />
photos of their work.
