Years ago I was the newsletter editor for the St. Louis chapter of the Society of Broadcast Engineers and I remember all of the work that was required on getting relevant news and getting it out on time. I look forward to the challenge in 2019!This is your newsletter and your input is greatly appreciated. If you have some ideas that you would like to see in your newsletter I am open to suggestions.

From the PresidentGreetings!
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving with friends and relatives.
The theme of this month's meeting is "Handtools that complement the powered shop" and will be in an extravaganza format (benches of demonstrators). At this time scrapers and files/rasps will be discussed/demonstrated, so there's much more room for more participants. So... bring your handtools and join the fun.
Officer election. This month we'll kickoff the meeting with 2019 officer elections. Those running are Greg Guertin - Treasurer, Scott Fell - Vice President, and Jim Francis - President. In addition, Larry Cameron will be Membership Chairman and Gary Stephens will take over as Web/Instagram/Facebook Master as well as Newsletter Editor.
2019 activity planning. While munching on turkey and the fixings, think deep 2019 woodworking thoughts (projects to complete, classes to take, techniques to master), then bring those thoughts to our meeting. We'll have some fun listening to your inputs.
Thanks,
Jim Francis

Tip of the Month - The Ergonomic Scroll SawI just had back surgery. That makes sitting up an adventure. I knew that my scroll saw set up was not conducive to good posture. My stool was too low and the saw table was level. Well, I was looking through information on setting the angle of the table for ease and found this article that giave me a lot of answers. I'm sure it might answer some of your questions, as well. Your back and shoulders will thank you. Karl - ed —Allen Salfer, Atlantic Beach, Fla.

Many people love to scrollsaw for hours at a time. But hunching over a saw for that long can give you a stiff neck and shoulders.
