Toy Workshop (TWS2023-05) 3.11.2023

We held our fifth Toy Workshop (TWS) for 2023 on Saturday March 11, 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 second Saturday of the month.

Attendees: The attendees at today's workshop (17+4) included Harley, Julian, Rick, Grant, Ken, Rollie, Lon, Russ, Darwin, Lauree, Al, Ed, Jerry, Patsy, Mary Jo, Nick, Mary G, and Jim Brown.   Rick, Cori, Tony, and Stu spent the morning assisting the Rangers at the Assembly of God with their Pinewood Derby building (a different location.)

Today's Activities:
Today we finished tracing, cutting and axle drilling of The Club for Boys (CFB) pinewood derby cars (100).  We will be assisting the boys at the CFB in July with finishing and building of the cars.  

We are almost finished tracing the critters for 2023. Only three sets of critters remain to be traced.  We have used all available 3/4" pine for the critters.  We will finish the critters when more wood becomes available.  

Other activities today including drilling windows, drilling holes for axle pegs, and cutting some toys to shape using scrollsaws (Ed and Darwin). 

While you all were enjoying the Toy Workshop, we enjoyed lunch with Mase at Chili's in Chino Hills, CA.
