PROGRAM –President Roy stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Phil Moran (one of our own) who would be presenting his version of “WOOD WORKING IN YOUR GARAGE”. It is interesting that many of our members remember starting our shops with very few tools and a minimum of space in which to work. Thanks to garages and the ability to move to the outdoors. Phil had many ways in which to expand the capability of his tool complement by some very simple modifications. Each tool was configured to hang on the garage wall and placed in like operations to reduce the searching time for a tool. Phil also has a few designs that are available to replicate if a member sees a need. Thanks to Phil and we look forward to more of his projects in the future. Don’t forget to help Vice President Greg Hull by keeping a lookout for anything that would be of interest to our members and thank him for his efforts to bring us a program each month.

PROGRAM –President Roy stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Verne Christensen who comes to us by way of Jim Dunlap. Verne is a quintessential (ultimate) expert on LOUIS SULLIVAN and his involvement in the structure of buildings around the years starting in1880. Designs such as this have disappeared in current times as we move toward the stainless steel and glass structures. Many of the buildings deigned in those early years were banks (Jesse James and his gang did their banking in these very same buildings). Verne and Jim Dunlap are proud owners of several molds that were used to fabricate the ornate blocks used to fabricate several buildings. We always enjoy reviewing our past history and methods

PROGRAM –Vice President Greg stated that the program for tonight would be presented by Member Mike Chapman and would be about a MID CENTURY MODERN CHAIR -CUSTOMIZED. This would be a design that he modified from features defined in other chairs that were more to his liking and need. As with most projects of this type it is the patterns that are essential to building a replica of a vintage chair, but there are times when the “EYES VIEW” is the tool that is required to fabricate that one special piece. Mike showed in detail the many joints that were used and the fact that very few mechanical fasteners were required due in part to their slip fit. When a fine furniture piece such as a chair is finished the question still remains “Is a chair meant for sitting or display?”. Thanks to Mike and we look forward to more of his projects. Don’t forget to help Vice President Greg Hull by keeping a lookout for anything that would be of interest to our members and thank him for his efforts to bring us a program each month.
