The March 2018 SS SIG was held on Mar
Scrollsawing techniques and projects were discussed during the first half of the gathering, and a project to make Locomotives to give to kids at the Wood Working Show was worked during the second half. One drill press and three scroll saws were going for 45 minutes to cut out 60 small locomotives traced on redwood. Then they were sanded and routered and sealed before the 3-24-2018 toy workshop. They were sanded at the workshop and are now ready for finish spraying. At the Woodworking Show kids will help install the smoke stack and wheels and then try them on our special race track.
