Beautiful October weather in the 70's found us sanding, routering, cutting, building, packing, and making parts for toys.
Hand sanding activity involved sanding airplane wings, airplane fuselages, race cars, whales, ducks, small cars, rotors, and basketball game back boards.
The Batman cars were cut to shape on the scrollsaw.
Wheels were installed on eleven different types of toys for a total of 183 toys put into inventory for Christmas giving plus 2 Love Bugs.
Airplane wings were installed on fuselages (about 125 out of 155 to build). Other new toys were cut to shape on scroll saws.
Tugboats Parts are being milled in preparation for the final build of 100 traditional Tugboats.
Basketball game parts are being milled including backboards and bases.
Major progress was made on lots of toys that are still in work. This effort is held under the big tent in the parking lot. The curved edges of these toys were sanded on oscillating sanders, their edges were routered, and their flat sides sanded smooth.
Improvements to the work shop continued with two sets of shelves added to closets.
Many members are still working on toys at home shops and then bringing them to the toy workshops for further activities.
After the workshop, several members went to a home in West Hills village to pick up surplus wood. Jerry, Bob, Tony, Rick and Ron helped pack up wood from a basement. This wood (walnut) was then brought to the Shop on Wood Ave for sorting and distribution. Many thanks to Jim and Marilyn Reaser and his brother Dave Reaser for their generous contribution of wood to our organization.
