Scott MacLeod, a new member, attended tonight.Jim Maclean, J Hiltz, Paul, Brian, Roy Troke, Rick were also in attendance.
We continued to work on the serving trays.
Most people have the tray glued and the feet parts ready to cut to shape.
Leo explained how to round the edges of the tray using hand plane and spokeshave and sand paper.
The edges are then coated with a bond: whiting or porter cement and acrylic bond.
Layer this along the four edges and sand it off once dry.
Leo also gave some instructions on making a rolling pin.
The wood glue up was explained.
Once piece for the center 7/8 inches thick by 2/12 wide:
Glue up two different color woods for the outside
and bisect them on the diagonal, lengthwise.
We will make a center dowel.
Bring a length of wood a little more than 3/8 thick and 22 inches or so long for the next workshop.
We practiced making this dowel with Leo's special dowel maker, which worked like a charm.
