December Meeting: Holiday potluck and member projects

At the December meeting, CJWA celebrated the holiday season with our annual holiday potluck dinner. As usual, there was a lot of great food and great company. Many thanks to Paul Dzioba for coordinating the potluck this year.
In addition to the potluck dinner, CJWA members showed projects that they had made for the season.
Marc Gaertner showed a pair of end tables that he made. The top of the near table was made from zebrawood. Marc said that getting the angles of the legs right was a challenge.
Paul Dzioba showed a pair of backsaws that he made. They cut very well in use. The steel for the saw plate was obtained from McMaster-Carr.
Frank Lovero showed an Adirondack-inspired bench in progress that he is making. He has several of these benches being made that will eventually be installed at the Monmouth Museum.
David White made a pair of square gears, and in this video he proves that they actually do work.
Happy Holidays to you from CJWA!
