DESCRIPTION:Write Up of the April 27th\, 2014 CDBA Meeting by Jack Connel
 l\n\nLee Harvey’s April 27th’s demonstration on constructing a Jingl
 e bell based on a design by Steve Alling and Bill Clemons was\, as usual
  with Lee\, very successful and informative. Lee passed out a number of 
 copies of the article with schematics that came from Clemons’ article.
  Lee demonstrated and discussed all of the jigs and tools he made to pro
 duce these terrific bells and stressed that the material needed to be th
 ick (3/16” or 7 Gage) enough to properly take the required shape. Doug
 h Deleury brought a number of laser cut bell blanks for sale which sever
 al members took advantage of as hand cutting these out is a bit tough. W
 e also had a terrific tail gating where a couple of us were able to pass
  on no longer need blacksmith items. Keep this in mind for our next and 
 subsequent meets. * Our next meeting will be a week early\, on May 18\, 
 NOT May 25th. This meeting we will have Noah demonstrating forging Dutch
  hinges. As many of you know\, Noah and his dad are full time blacksmith
 s and are exceptionally talented ones at that. ** I believe that Jim has
  sent around a reminder that we need instructors to demonstrate to the A
 lbany school kids this June . The schedule and signup sheet will be at t
 he May meeting. This has been a lot of fun for all of us in the past and
  is THE reason why we are able to use this site as apermant home. Demons
 trating for the few weeks that we do each year is the dues we pay to sta
 y here at this terrific site. So\, please do your share and sign up. ***
  Lastly\, please note that the kitty for coffee\, etc. as well as for co
 al and steel is getting low. We have relied on coffee donations as well 
 as general donations to cover these costs and do not want to have to res
 ort to charging dues. We (all of us!) like to keep things loose and info
 rmal. So\, in lieu of resorting to this drastic measure\, we are proposi
 ng that beginning with the May meeting\, everyone attending (coffee drin
 kers or not) put a single dollar in the donation can by the coffee. This
  hopefully will be sufficient. Also\, anyone who has short (foot or so) 
 pieces of steel to donate would also be much appreciate as this will als
 o cut down on our material needs\, and thus cash flow. See you May 18th 
 at noon.
