Aug. 21—HICKORY — The Western Piedmont Woodcrafters Club Saturday, Aug. 27th meeting will feature a presentation on computer-controlled shop tools. The group will meet at 9:30 a.m. at Klingspor's Woodworking Shop, 856 21st St. Drive SE, Hickory. Meetings are open to the public.
Chris Smith will demonstrate and explain CNC machines, their capabilities, features of different machines, and different software packages.
Chris is well qualified to give this presentation. Among other woodworking accomplishments, Chris has owned his own custom cabinet and furniture business; he has coordinated a line of router and CNC bits while working for KLINGSPOR Abrasives, allowing him to work closely with commercial CNC operators; he owns and operates a personal CNC machine; he has a following on youtube, where he posts woodworking-related content under the name Christcross Crafts, offering an impressive array of woodworking videos, product reviews, woodworking tips, and jigs.
Members and visitors should also enjoy the portion of the program in which members and guests show and discuss their completed woodworking projects.
All will have an opportunity to offer comments and ask questions about presentations, items shown, and other topics.
The meeting will include a raffle of items funded by the club and donated items.
The club consists of about 70 Hickory-area woodworkers of all skill levels, from hobbyist to professionals.
The club usually meets on the fourth Saturday of each month at the Klingspor's Woodworking Shop in Hickory. The exceptions are our annual offsite picnic, the October Klingspor's Woodworking Extravaganza, and a combined November/December meeting.

It's been almost four years since the Proud Boys were banned from Facebook, but apparently its members are still trying to claw their way back onto the social network after all this time. Meta disclosed Thursday that it recently removed a network of activity affiliated with the violent extremist group after it detected members making inroads back onto Facebook and Instagram. The company says it removed around 480 Proud Boys accounts, pages, groups and events through a strategy it calls "strategic network disruption" — basically neutralizing a network of activity linked to a banned group in a targeted, simultaneous sweep.
