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.

NEXT MEETING –April 9 , 2019 at 7 pm.

President Roy closed the meeting at 9:00 p.m..
