Our second Toy Workshop (TWS) for 2022 on held on Saturday Feb 5, 2022, from 9 to noon. This was at the Wood Shop at 910 Wood Ave in Rapid City. The shop is in the basement of the annex to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.
We continued our 2022 Toy Build with Tracing and Boxing of blanks. Tools of the day were miter saws, sharp pencils, awls, and a shortage of paper boxes.
Attending today (20): Rollie, Ken, Al, Harley, Bob, Kathie, Rick, Mary G, Nick, Bel, Lyle, Don, Darwin, Lauree, Lon, Grant, Frank, Tony, Cori, and Gary Graves.
Activities included tracing toys, cutting into individual blanks, boxing and tagging. A total of 665 toys were traced using 23 patterns. This brings our running total of traced toys to 1,157. This is almost half of the toys that can be traced for this year.
Rick hung signs from past woodworking shows in the wheel assembly area today, for all to enjoy.
A donation of wood from Edgemont from Jerry at the Nuts and Bolts Quilt Shop was sorted into 1x4, 1x6, 2x4 and 2x6 sizes. Appropriate sizes were used today for toys using 2” thick material. Another donation of cedar and pine 1x6 siding was sorted and stored for future use. Finally, Lauree and Darwin brought in a donation from Magnum Enterprises consisting of several boxes of 1”premium-grade popular(5”X5”X1”). These were moved to the storeroom for future use to build airplanes, tractors, and animal toys. Thank you to Magnum Enterprises!
