EVENTS Faye hosted a craft sale at her house. Anyone could bring a table and put out their items for sale. It was not well attended due to the weather. She is going to try it one more time and see if she can get more The IMAKE project at the Museum of Science and History in Fort Worth was a success. The club members took 3 saws for demos and lots of brag items. Puzzles were taken for small children to put together. Paul stated that next year he thinks that 2 saws would be enough because only 6 members attended and it was hard to talk with the attendees while doing demos. He is hoping that next year more members will participate. Woodworking Display Wood show put on by the Houston club is still being set up. Glenn talked with Norm Nickles who stated that they are getting close to final details. At this point it is to be in Burleson with the exact location and date to be finalized soon. May 17-19, 2019 in Grapevine, TX ASK THE EXPERTS Someone said that he has trouble seeing under the saw to check the blade placement. Paul said he puts his cell phone on self photo mode and uses it as a camera enabling him to see the under carriage of his saw. BRAG TABLE Jim Pochurek brought several items. He is in the process of cutting and assembling small guitars using scrap exotic woods. He also brought a small replica of a Winchester 1783 rifle.

Bob used some trash wood that Paul gave away. He added beautiful flowers, butterfly, hummingbirds to the front of the pieces of wood. His figures were painted making them all wonderful spring scenes.
