SUMMARY:PATINA July 2021 Meeting (Scott Merrifield)
DESCRIPTION:The guest presentation on July 11 featured Scott Merrifield\, who is an Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Intern working with mechanical arts and household accessories at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. He holds a BA in History from Christopher Newport University and is working to fulfill his thesis requirement for a MA in History from James Madison University. He was a 2016 summer intern in Colonial Williamsburg’s cabinetmaking shop. In his current position\, he has cataloged 250 eighteenth-century woodworking planes made by Francis Nicholson\, John Nicholson\, and Cesar Chelor. His current research interests are in trades and tools of early America. \nThe program summary centered on Cesar Chelor\, the earliest documented African-American toolmaker\, worked in New England as part of the first school of American plane makers. He learned his trade while enslaved to Francis Nicholson of Wrentham\, Massachusetts\, the first professional plane maker in the colonies. Upon his master’s death in 1753\, Chelor was freed by the terms of Nicholson’s will\, and opened his own shop where he manufactured planes which bear his name. The large quantity of his surviving planes\, of which Colonial Williamsburg owns 75\, shows that Cesar Chelor was both a prolific maker and a master craftsman. \nThis presentation discussed Chelor\, his work\, and the world he practiced his trade in.

SUMMARY:PATINA Nov 2020 Meeting (Elmer Nahum)
DESCRIPTION:PATINA is proud to present Dr. Elmer Nahum\, Author of Practical Clubmaking. Playing Bobby Jones’ home course of East Lake in the 1980s spawned Elm’s interest in golf history. Over the years\, he has studied the early history of the game as well as biographies of notable players. \nHis woodworking focuses on making 18th and 19th-century furniture using hand tools and traditional methods. Reproducing a 19TH century long nose golf club is a natural convergence of these two hobbies and a golf motif finds its way into some furniture elements. \nElm maintains a woodworking blog\, Unique Tips for Hand Tools\, which includes posts on golf clubmaking. Each attempt at making a replica 19th-century golf club offers a chance to gain new insights into the traditional methods and history of clubmaking and woodworking. The free time following retirement as an interventional radiologist allowed him to produce Practical Clubmaking\, his first book.
