We held our sixth Toy Workshop (TWS) for 2023 on Saturday March 25, 2023, from 9 am to 12. This was held 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. This was a regularly scheduled Rapid City Woodworkers Association (RCWA) workshop and held on the fourth Saturday of the month.
Attendees: The attendees at today's workshop (17) included Harley, Keith, Rick, Grant, Ken, Rollie, Lon, Darwin, Lauree, Al, Ed, Jerry, Patsy, Mary Jo, Nick, Stu and Maggie Brown.
Today's Activities:
We finished tracing the critters for 2023 today. Tracers today were Grant, Harley, Mary Jo, Patsy, Nick and Keith.
Other activities today including drilling windows (Ken), drilling holes for axle pegs (Rick), and cutting some toys to shape using scrollsaws (Jerry, Ed, Rollie, and Darwin). Activities outside included cutting toys to shape on the bandsaw (Lon and Stu) and sanding toys with the Rigid sander (Al).
As a result of all previous activities with cutting and drilling, we have a good backlog of rough sanding, routering of edges, and finish sanding with mouse sanders to do.
Today Maggie delivered Toys for the Black Hills Chaplains today - these were packed back on Dec 3, 2022.

Meanwhile on the west coast: Names were cut, bunk beds assembled, and bookshelves cut and assembled over the past month with shop assistance from my helpful young grand-daughter.
Kathie painted two bookshelves for the grandkids today - chalkboard black. These were made completely from scratch using recycled materials from box springs, and particle board from freestanding shed shelves.
Bob and Kathie met friends for breakfast in Yorba Linda, CA today.
