he gave to the engineers at ExxonMobil Beaumont Engineering Services (BES)
in Beaumont, Texas. BES was holding an area wide safety meeting and
invited WWCH to present home workshop safety. In Beaumont, John
was joined by WWCH member, Michael Breland. John's safety talk
was, in the words of BES, "...enjoyable, informative and
entertaining...".

Fred Sandoval demonstrates to club members how he used his homemade jig to cut the mortises for the bench that he crafted. The wood is 2x12 from his local home improvement center. Min Wax stain and varnish finished his project. |

 Denis
Muras proudly shows a letter he recently received from school children
asking for more "teeth". Denis was making teeth for
teachers to give away to pupils who had lost their baby teeth.
Denis also framed a photo graph of a craftsman's work who had made a
wooden bulldozer from plans that he purchased from Denis. The
square "things" are miniature photo holders for kids to give
to their Mothers; Denis crafted several of them to give away to school
children.

Andy Anderson, a.k.a. Funzo the Funnyman, spoofed Matt Adam's crafting of utensils by describing how this spoon was crafted. It is simple. Use a large Forstner bit with an M-80 firecracker on its tip. The wood used is "Tramlaw Anihc" which, when read backwards, spells a well known large-box retail outlet priced at $3.99 plus tax. |

| In this photo Richard Storm describes the length of the original log from which he turned this sycamore vase; the sycamore coming from a felled tree in Galveston after Ike hit. The salt and pepper mills are of walnut. |
