I would like to thank everyone who participated in the tool swap. We had seven people who brought tools needing a new

home. Most of the stuff brought were clamps, planes, and other variety of hand tools and hardware. We would like to

make this a yearly event and attract some larger items to the table.

Oak desk is sold !!!!

The club was notified late last month that someone was inter-

ested in purchasing the oak desk. The officers are reviewing ma-

terial costs in order to determine a fair asking price.

A pair of desks were made as part of the club’s Collaboration

Project two years ago. One was oak and the other walnut. The

oak desk had a roll top enclosure. The walnut one had a flat top.

The walnut desk sold at auction last Christmas.

The officers have started discussing a project for this year.

Around the Guild—Peter Leaven’s shop

This wine rack is going in a side table/wine cabinet Peter is building for his

daughter. He copied the dimensions from a larger wine rack bought sev-

eral years ago for a cabinet located in his basement. It is made of red-

wood which he scavenged 30 years ago from a boutique closing in New-

ark. It is currently unfinished (the cabinet will be finished in poly.)
