March Meeting

This month we were at Tim's shop. Nice relaxed evening with lots to talk about. 

Ed spoke about his latest Toys and Joys build which he is building 2 x 1931 Cadillac Roadster's.

We discussed finishing the model cars and Ed still spoke highly of Peter's tried and true 3 equal parts: oil, turpentine and varnish.

The topic of where to get wood came up and we all had our favourites to share:

• Shaker Roads
• The Wood Shed
• McQueen's Custom Cuts
• Commonwealth Plywood
• Townsend Lumber
• BCW Lumber and Plywood
• A&M Wood Specialties
• Exotic Woods

We talked about upcoming events like:

• Tools of the Trades Show and Sale
• Niagara Woodcarvers Show at Heartland Forest
• Wood Everything Show
• The Wood Shed's 25th Anniversary

Kevin mentioned the new Bosch "Reaxx" flesh sensing technology saw.

The idea was thrown around about a Competition or challenge to be held within our group. Some ideas were:

• Belt sander races
• Pine derby car races
• 2 x 4 challenge (build using a standard 2x4x8)
• 3 pound challenge (build anything but it must weigh 3 pounnds)

April meeting is yet to be determined but stay tuned....
