Update 10 February 2017
Fellow woodies
The coming Funday challenge at the Ashburton woodworkers club will be a rolling pin and pastry cutter. You can start to practise and see how close you get the three of each.
Any queries, questions, don’t knows, head scratchers, blank looks, I suppose you can email me or even phone. I should be able to assist except make those wooden items.
The attendance form, including the lunch menu will be emailed later. The cook is experimenting on us before he lets you try his food. And we need to play fair when it comes to this serious Funday challenge, so the food needs to be pretty good.
Happy, safe turning.
Rust of the bevel, dust out the lungs.
