Members of the RCWA met at Rick's shop today at 1 pm to learn more about the art of scroll sawing.
Members attending today (9) included Jerry, Al, Dave, Rollie, Lon, Ken, Bob, Kathie, and Rick.
Jerry and Rick worked on the barn structure, the animals, and the hay wagon for the Barn project for the silent auction at our April 22, 2023 Woodworking Show. In October, we found wood and glued up patterns for the hay wagon and the tractor, as well as the horse, cow, and pig. Wheels and steering wheels were selected as well. The barn structure fit was refined and the animals and wagon were cut to size.
.
Rick made a small modification to the standard tractor design. This will improve the build time for each tractor. The tractors will be given away at the upcoming Woodworking Show on April 22, 2023 at the Knecht Home Center to kids, as well as at Toy Distribution in December.
Construction details on building cup and ball games and ring toss games were discussed. Dave Maude has volunteered to look at the current design and try making a group of toy games for the 2023 toy program. Dave is also checking to see if he can use the hex shaped pieces from Magnum Enterprises to make Tops.
Rick is working on 100 mini helos, xx airplanes, and xx tractors for the 2023 Toy Program, all from 1" poplar.
