Hutchison explained to club members how he fashioned his puzzle box
using a router-mortise jig and a bottom cutter spiral plunge router
bit. Jack first used a forster bit to rough out the opening
then followed up with a plunge bit using the mortise jig as a
guide. The bit he chose has bearings and not a bushing.

John Gay described his first
clock as an easy project. Drill a hole in a piece of wood and stick
a clock in it. Takes no "time" at all..heh..heh.. Three
coats of sealer followed by two coats of tung oil then paste wax finish
the clock. The wrist watch, though "easy", took a
little longer. He made it of red oak and maple. The watch band
pieces simply required setting up an assembly line. John claims he
made the wrist watch for his "big" brother.

Brayton smiles as he shows off his cutting boards of teak, purple heart,
birch, mahogany and wenge. They were first coated with Danish oil
then followed up by coatings of vegetable oil. The boards look
sharp but I don't see how they can "cut"??? |

Fisher talks about how he crafted this almost adult sized rocking
horse. It is made of all 3/4 inch plywood, glued and screwed
together to form thick pieces. Carpeting lines the rockers because
the floor on which it will sit is hard wood as well as carpet. His
friend, Mary Nelson, painted the horse. |

Richard explained to club members how he scroll sawed these cedar
Christmas ornaments to sell at a church fair. Monte showed how he
used a small quick grip clamp to keep the piece together and hold it steady
as he cut the shapes. He used a #5 or #7 scroll saw blade on the
wings. Monte says with a very sharp chisel he could clean the
little burn marks off the wood. |
