A great continuation of the tracing phase for 2018, with most of the (traceable) toys traced, boxed, and labeled today!  Several of the boxed blanks have been taken home with members to work on in their own shops.

Jerry Hood returned a box of completed firetrucks (new toy for 2018) that are ready for sealing and finishing. Jerry designed and produced 25 from a photo and from his experiences on the Nemo Fire Department. Patsy Hood returned a couple boxes of critters that she traced, cut and boxed.  Lon returned a box full of toys shaped, sanded, and routered and ready for sealing and finishing.  Ken Moran returned a box of completed Dachshund push toys (new for 2018) that are ready for sealing and finishing.  Ken designed and prototyped a half dozen dachshunds before making a production run of 25.  This toy features movable ears and a pointy tail.
