Announcements
Fire exits, AED location.
Shop still closed. We have been in contact with the church about this, and we have been actively following up on many leads regarding other possible locations. A detailed update on this will be given at one of our upcoming meetings. We are working on getting an improved audio system for our meetings which will significantly enhance the zoom experience.
Next week will be tips and jigs, so bring in your tips/jigs to share.

Presentations
Wayne Peden: Banding/edging on cabinets. Melamine or veneer iron on banding, or thin (1/4 inch) wood strip glued on. Use of a special trimmer tool. Tips about sanding, gluing, trimming for a quality finished product.
Chris Lapine: Building cottage stairs from logs. Logs 12” diameter cut in half, and 36” long, rails 3 by 8 pine 14 ft long. Logs should be dried inside, not under the cottage! The ‘half logs’ do warp and twist so a jig was built to flatten them on the one side, using a radial arm saw. A slot was cut in round side of the half logs to fit on the rails. Logs were then lag bolted and PL ‘adhesived’ to the rails.
