Happy Holidays to and from the Water Gap Woodturners. On December 4th, a great group of people got together for a Holiday party and to make a bunch of toys for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program. Thanks to everyone that contributed and made the event the amazing success that it was!I was going to write a lot of gushy stuff about how much I appreciate the folks that stepped up, but I decided that I'll just share some of the picture that Jim and I took (mostly Jim!)
Al works the spray booth.
Eyes and carrot noses pile up
Steve turns a cup...who is doing the assembly?
Dick makes some wheels for the trucks
It had better snow soon, cause we've got some snowman parts!
Our tops are tops, and our ball in cup toys are mesmerizing
Jim in the color finishing area...
Izzy busy? You know he is...
I never thought we'd get through all of this material...
And I never thought we'd get through all of this food!
Richard is focused, Joe is listening to Christmas songs, and Peter is ducking a photo op...
Tony is the final quality gate for assembly...
Wil and Harvey hard at work.
Santa's elves form a production line...
Our next meeting will be in a similar format. I still have to get an OK from Jim Whitman at Peters Valley, but assuming that is not going to be a problem. We will meet at the shop around 1 PM on January 22nd until we are through (no lunch this time, so be prepared or eat first) and we will be back to our normal SHOW AND TELL followed by a hands on program (TBD). If you have any suggestions, send them my way...
Happy Holidays and safe spinning-
