[GBW] STANDARDS - FRIDAY FORUM UPDATE

["Peter D. Verheyen" <verheyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As Standards nears, it's time to think about the Friday Forum. Last years
event was a great success, so let's help make this year as successful.
Unfortunately the response thus far has been much lower than last year.

Friday Forum is a chance for all of those attending Standards to show off a
special technique, project, or lead a discussion on a topic of interest to
them. This year's theme is enclosures/boxes, but presentations and posters
on any topic are welcome. Posters in preparation for this Standards include:

Carolee Campbell -- Examples of how to apply a high tack adhesive transfer
tape to glue metal to board and metal to metal for a limited edition book I
designed and bound with brass-bound boards.  An example of the adhesive, a
spec sheet and a book before and after binding will be available for study.

Betsy Palmer Eldridge - "Finishing without Finishing Tools"

Sharon Long -- The Painted Clamshell Box With a Copper plate Inset.

Peter Verheyen / Donia Conn -- Historic endbands

A report of last years smash event from the Newsletter is on the Friday
Forum webpage at
<http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byorg/gbw/standards/forum.shtml> has been
updated with some pictures. Also at the site are some tips on creating your
poster.

In order to plan for the event, you must let me know at
<FriForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> what the topic of your poster will be and how
much space you'll require. As was the case last year each presenter will
get half of a 2' x 8' (or similar) in which to place their display. Full
instructions and suggestions on creating a poster can be found on the
Friday Forum page at
<http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byorg/gbw/standards/forum.shtml>.

To simplify travel, completed posters can be sent to:

Denver, CO 80211

I look forward to hearing from you,

Peter
