Scrollers cut all redwood Caravans to shape, then were moved to Bob's shop to further refine the cut for the trailer hitches.  
John Wolf brought in a box of critters he completed that are now ready for inventory.
Al Oines brought back the larger firetrucks, after sanding the window holes on his oscillating sander.  They are now ready to be spray finished.  Lon took a box of toys home to cut, router, and sand.  Don took several boxes home to do the same.  Wes Murphy donated a ten gallon Shop Vac for cleaning up after our workshops.  Rick did some maintenance on it, we used it, and we stored it in the back store room at the CFB.  Thanks, Wes!  Rollie says it's a good machine.  Darwin brought in boxes of scrap 1" dowels for use on log trucks and tugboats.
