Mid South Woodturners Guild Facebook Page

Years ago, Mike Maffitt started the MSWG Facebook group page and for the last couple of years it has not been active.

 

We have reactivated the MSWG Facebook page, and several members are already members of the page.

 

Only MSWG "Active Members" can post to the page.

 

Please join the group by clicking the link below.

Congratulations, Skip!

MSWG Demonstration Recording and Publishing

 

Over the past couple of years, the MSWG Board has been asked why we do not video record and publish the monthly meeting demonstrations for our membership.

 

This can be done but no one has volunteered to do the recording, editing, and publishing on a regular basis.

 

Without a trained and dedicated volunteer this will never happen.

 

On the tech side we have out feed for recording in HDMI, webcam, and multi audio streams to your computer. Or each camera can record to a SD card in 1080i, and you can off load the recorded video to your computer for editing.

 

No matter how the demonstration is recorded it must be edited and published.

 

If this is something you are interested in doing for the club, please contact Larry Sefton at a club meeting or by phone at 901-604-2778. Note: You will need to use your own up-to-date computer with video editing software.

January President's Challenge Reminder

Because the January MSWG meeting was canceled due to weather,

please bring your January President's Challenge - Kitchen Utensil

your February President's Challenge item - Writing Utensil.

 

As always if you are not able to attend a meeting you can send your President's Challenge to the meeting with someone else or email a photo(s) to
