The Next Meeting is 7 pm, May 28, 2008
Al Bahr Temple, 5440 Kearny Mesa Rd. Behind the Hampton Inn
Program:
EARLY 20th CENTURY AUTOMOBILES
By Aaron Radelow
This month's guest speaker will be Aaron Radelow. Aaron's work has been featured in numerous publications over the years; he is a memorable 2004 Best of Show winner with his Art Deco drinks cabinet in the Design in Wood.
Aaron's work embodies many different styles and levels of complexity. Currently he is working on building the coach for a 1907-08 Olds motorcar.
He will discuss pre-1915 automobile wood and aluminum body construction, the different types of woods used, where they were employed and why. He will also bring a full scale drawing of the coach he's currently constructing.
Other points of interest covered by Aaron will be the numbers of electric and steam powered automobiles going up against the gas fueled autos of the time. Aaron will also show some photos, via Power Point, of the rolling chassis, the start of construction, and pictures of the fire that almost burned everything into oblivion.
Come and joins us for this interesting
program.
See you at the meeting!
