Some of the attendees at today's workshop (17) included Nick, Grant, Al, Ken, Rick, Harley, Mary G, Russ Stueckrath, Bob, Kathie, Jerry, Patsy, Jim, Gary Graves, Frank, Rollie, and Ed Pike.

We continued with the next phase of toymaking today as we continued drilling axle holes, drilling windows using Forstner bits, cutting toys to rough shape, sanding and routering.  There were three people cutting on scrollsaws, and one on the bandsaw.  There was handsanding of puzzle cars in preparation for the Wood Show, as well as handsanding blocks for block bags.  We had extra sanders without operators.  We tested the TRITON oscillating belt sander as well.

Scroll Saw Special Interest Group (SS SIG) 3.17.2022

The special interest group (SIG) focusing on Scroll Sawing is held at Rick Weisbeck’s shop on the third Thursday of each month.  All members are welcome to attend these “scroll saw focused” get-togethers.

A small group of RCWA members attended the March meeting of the Scroll Saw Special Interest Group (SS SIG) at Rick's Shop on Thursday March 17, 2022.

The goal for the evening was to finish up the puzzle cars to be given away at the Woodworking Show on 23 April 2022 at the Knecht Home Center.  We will give each kid a toy to color,  we will add wheels, and then the kids may race them down our 8' long race track.

This year's theme is "Puzzles and Games".  In keeping with the theme, a toy was designed just for the show.  The toy picked is a puzzle car based on a toy car featured in the most recent Scrollsaw Magazine.  Jerry Hood designed the toy car while vacationing in Florida.  Jerry made a group of these toys in Florida.  At this SIG, we finished up the remaining portion of the cars by rounding over the edges and sanding, ready for the WW Show.
