A perfect weather day to kick off our Toy making Marathon which will run until we finish all toys that we started in January 2021.  We will distribute toys on Saturday Dec 4, 2021.

At the conclusion  of the workshop today, we paused to celebrate Rollie's 90th birthday.  Congratulations Rollie and Happy Birthday!!!

We met at the Shop on Wood Ave today officially for the first time.  Several members have been working on the facility since early August.  Efforts included drywalling  two walls of the Store Room, building shelving units to hold Finished toys and Toys that are in Work.  Work is continuing on building several small work stations  (4' X 2') for using with Drill Presses and small vises.  Sawdust collection for drill presses is one of our first needed accessories.  Rollie is coming up with a prototype design.  A table for using scroll saws will be needed in the near future.
