During this time of isolation our club has decided to not hold meetings. Without our meetings we dont get the chance to share our projects and ideas with others in the club. I know during our meetings I get a lot of tips, tricks and techniques. To fill in the gap a little Ive asked members to email the projects they have been working on or are currently working on. I am posting them here and maybe even find some tips, tricks and things to inspire to post as well. I will continue to update as I get more pics and links. Hope this finds you all doing well and enjoy.

Jeff sent this along.
"I fabricated an air filter/dust collector from some scrap pieces of plywood and some plexiglass stuck back in my tool crib. I bought a 20” box fan and furnace filters at the hardware store. I have less than $20.00 invested."

"Whenever anyone asks me what I am working on, I reply “I don’t work, I have fun.” I have been having fun with my mutts, a little different kind of carving for me.
