ASK THE EXPERTS
Russ asked how to use a router and go around different shapes. Betsy explained that he will need to anchor the project down. Do not attempt to hold your project and route while holding the router in the opposite hand. After discussion, Russ was told that his best tool would be a Dremel with a router bit. His project would still need to be clamped down before attempting to route. Dremel also has a plunge attachment that can be used
BRAG TABLE
Alex Borg has brought a work in progress to be given to his son upon receiving his Eagle Scout statis. The carved figure of a scout will also include badges that Ryan has received during his scouting years. Very nice. Ryan has done a prayer garden in the church yard as his project. For those who do not know, Ryan was our youngest member and very accomplished scroller. He is now a senior in high school and will be going onto college. We feel very fortunate to have been able to watch Ryan grow and develop into a great young man and wish him the best in life. Thank you to the Borg family to have shared Ryan with us.
David Borg brought several cartoon characters that he cut with a scroll saw and then carved. These included carved pilgrims, Indians, and a turtle.
Betsy brought a pencil box with sliding top. Very nice
Harmon cut a Sue Mey compound cut ornament for his wife Billie to give at an ornament exchange. It was put in a very nice gift box that Harmon purchased at a craft show. The pattern was found in a ScrollSaw Book, Holiday addition 2009. Perfect.
Eddie Warren cut a Steve Good pattern of 3 butterflies in the center of red cedar
(2) he also cut 2 crosses which included a Bobbie Riggs pattern of (I carried you) the hardest part to cut were the toes on the feet
(3) Eddie just passed out 125 ornaments to the members of Kathy’s 4 orchestras. He also mailed ornaments to friends and family with Christmas cards. What a job
Faye Benezue brought ornaments in the shape of states. Each state was painted and glittered. She also had an ornament that was the USA shape.
Jo Ann brought several ornaments and a Sheila Landry 3 arched Nativity cut from Corian with a blue background which accented the narivity figures.
