April 28/26
Paul, Rick, Lawrence, Jimmy, Francis and Miles
The meeting started with a discussion on crown molding that Rick was installing on kitchen cabinets.
Lawrence then continued on the glued panel desk top. The two previously glued halves were planned down to 15/16. The panels were then glued up , taking care to hand plane the edges that meet. Reposition the clamps if the clamped panel does not sit flat on the support sticks, moving the clamps up or down closer to the edges as needed.Stand the panel up on edge with clamps in place. Once dry, scrape and sand the panel before staining.
Lawrence then demonstrated some unique tools :
Scratch stock
Miniature instrument planes and Purfling cutters for making violins

This is the last meeting for the season.
We will reconvene this fall.
We thank Lawrence for the wonderful experience we have all had this year, thanks to the generous contribution of his time and workspace and the sharing of his knowledge and woodwork wisdom. Thanks also to the members for their contributions to the Blog.
