As always, this month was some TOUGH competition. But in the end our new Treasurer, Laura Peterson, walked away with a $20 Rockler Gift Card for her outstanding jewelry boxes.

One of our members, Grant Steffen, brought a bunch of the Turtle Stools to our Sept. meeting for the Christmas Toys program and left a template set with me. I've converted that into a downloadable plan for all of you to use to make your own. They are very simple and can be decorated anyway you want.
You have to be logged in to get it. Once logged in go the DOCUMENTS menu and click on WOODWORKING PLANS when it expands downward. It will be the first one listed at the top.
I hope to get a photo of the finished version up soon but I neglected to take a picture of Grants. |

I've been having problems with the CWG video camera connecting via firewire to my computer. I'm still not entirely sure what the problem has been but I tried reversing the cable and it has been working for several days solid now so I'm trying to get caught up in the STACKS of tapes I have from meetings and get them online. Once I get caught up with the online stuff I will start converting them to DVD to keep in our beautiful cabinet that any member can borrow for a month.
Sorry for not being on top of it but its been more frustrating than you'll ever know to keep this working consistantly.

October is the month for bring in those GREAT Christmas gift project ideas. You can bring a finished piece, an unfinished piece that's far enough along so that we can tell what it is, a photo on CD or Flash Drive or plans to build it. Any way you want to share your ideas or former successes. We've had some great projects in the past that were simple and easy to make but very welcome when it came time to open presents. A handmade gift always means more than something store bought (well to MOST peolpe).
Come in and join the fun or get inspired! |

Bill Huffer and Paul Seipel were contacted by The Gathering Place, one of the groups we give toys to at Christmas time. The Gathering Place is a non-profit day care for homeless children. They wondered if we would be interested in building a Puppet Theater. We discussed it and said sure, why not. Who can turn down a chance to make some kids happy. So Bill and Paul built the frame and set up the hinges. I did all the paint and trim, my wife and I did the curtains. The hardest part was keeping my kids from playing with it! So I had to promise to build one for them someday...
