A Toy Workshop was held at the CLUB for BOYS
shop on Saturday February 8th, 2014 from 9 am to noon .
Attendees included Lon Gose, Julian Wigen,
Bel Felix, Rollie Lynde, Greg Todd, Darwin Buus, and Kathie and Bob
Buchanan.
We are continuing to trace patterns onto 2”
x 4” stock donated by Dakota Kraft. The
stock was prepared for the workshop by Julian Wigen who ran each piece through
his planer. This saves countless hours
of sanding in the toy making process. At
the conclusion of this workshop, we had completed over 95% of the tracing
effort required for 2014. There are
still lots of toys to build, but the tracing effort is nearly complete. Items that were traced today included airplane
fuselages, “Oldies” cars, “Small” cars, and critters. The total number of toys traced during today's
workshop was 321 toys, bringing the total number of toys in work since our first
workshop on January 11th to 1,189 toys.
This is unprecedented for this time of the year!

We also traced the remainder of the race cars for the Club for Boys which included more than 75 each of the four race car models for a total of 300 racers. This brings the total of Club for Boys vehicles to 400.
Julian Wigen will be starting to build the
225 toys for the Hills Alive – A Day in the Park activities planned for July 19th, 2014 . We will be participating again this year by
passing out toys to kids in the park.
Lon Gose brought in a second large box full
of toys to the workshop that are ready for the finishing process, as soon as
summer (warm weather) arrives.
