There were over 54 people in attendance at this month’s meeting. That number included 14 guests.
A big “Thank you” to Advantage Lumber for arranging this presentation, and for the refreshments. Grate sandwiches!
Presentation
The presentation this evening is by Ralph Bagnall, of Consulting Woodworker.com, on “ Scratch Stock”.
A scratch stock is a woodworking tool used for applying small custom molding details and grooves to furniture and other wooden items.
Mr. Bagnall demonstrated how to make and use a scratch stock tool. He also explained where and how it can be used and provided a handout on “Scratch Stocks”.
His website is – www.consultingwoodworker.com. I videoed his presentation and I’ll send a link to it as soon as I finish editing it.
