We held our twelveth Toy Workshop (TWS) for 2024 on Saturday June 22, 2024, from 9:00 to 12:00 am. 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.
It was a beautiful day with the temperature at 85 degrees. We worked inside today handsanding, drilling and cutting and outside sanding, cutting and routering.
The attendees at today's workshop (18) included Rick, Al, Stu, Jim Burk, Nick, Roy, Harley, Keith, Mary Jo, Patsy, Jerry, Bob B, Kathie, Cleon, Bob A, Gary Graves, Lon, and Russ.
Activities today:
Gary Graves brought in mini- helicopters, ready for routering and drilling rotor holes. He also brought in finished ICU items. Ed brought in blank chalk boards with handle holes. Jerry cut handles last workshop. So a total of 62 chalkboard blanks with handles cut were passed off to Gary for further processing.
Cleon continued in the role of Tugboat Captain today. Cabins were sanded and routered today by the "outside sanders". Smoke stacks were drilled by Cleon and Keith. Several hulls need to be drilled, cut, sanded and routered. Cleon is working on the hulls at home cutting them to shape on the scrollsaw.
Sealed toys were hand sanded today in preparation for the final spraying. Toy blanks were cut to shape on scroll saws. Blanks for CFB were sanded and drilled today to be ready by July 8th. Tugboat cabins were sanded and routered.
