Happy spring – I think!! We can’t

control the weather but we can certainly

control ourselves. If another member in

the shop looks like they could use some

assistance, help them or at least ask. If you

see an unfamiliar face, introduce yourself

and make them feel welcome. Get in-

volved in the various projects around the

shop. The Toy Program for 2019 is kicking

off and every Tuesday morning until early

November, the shop will be busy building

toys. If you would like to participate, just

show up and there will be something to do.

We are making every effort to provide a

variety of classes to attend. We realize the

demand is high and we are adding classes

all the time. We are also offering other

training opportunities like the webinar of

Brian Boggs and the Chris Schwarz semi-

nars on the weekend.

Chris Schwarz is our presenter for

this month’s meeting and it looks to be an

interesting program.

Around The Shop Be aware of your surroundings while in

the shop.

• Carts of materials and tools are mov-

ing between the equipment while you are

working and you could accidently bump

into them or they could bump you.

• Inspect the saw blades on the table saws

to see if they need to be cleaned.

• Buildup can occur which affects the

performance of the blade and can cause

burning of the piece being cut. It only

takes a minute to clean them.

Please, please, please be aware of the

position of the miter fence on the table

saws before making a cut. There have been

a couple of instances where the miter fence

has come in contact with the blade. Not

only does this damage both the blade and

the fence, it has the potential of injuring

someone.

The carts in the shop are there to

assist you in moving things within the

shop. They are not a portable workbench,

clamping station or storage item. Please

remove your “stuff” onto a work table

so they are available for others to use.

Thanks!!

Enjoy the shop – be safe!!
