    Bragging of a different sort

    I am president of the Jax Woodworkers Club and this last Saturday we had our annual toy giveaway. We have 65 members and they made over 1900 toys for ten sevice organizations here in Jacksonville that deal with children. One of our members is 91 and he made 70 toys. The photo shows just a sampling of the toys.

    That's great. The toys are sure to brighten the eyes of a few youngsters this Christmas. It's nice to see there are still good people in the world.

              That is a lot of toys and a lot of work towards a good cause. You and the others are to be commended - just show's how a relatively small number of people can make a difference to a lot of people - very inspiring ..

                  I'm going to show this to our club. We have 110 members and made just over 700 toys this year. Two years ago we did over 1600 and Midwest Living did a short article about us last year. Need to get a fire lit under our guys.

                  There's a fine line between woodworking and insanity, I'm just not sure which side of the line I'm on!

                    Boredom has probably lead to many a great idea, invention, etc. throughout life. I too like this concept of mixer pieces storage.

                    There are a lot of good points brought up here. Some may be easy to correct, others not so much. As far as Fox Chapel replying to this thread, I am trying to imagine a response that would not have made at least some people upset.

                    As far as the pattern size in the books, I believe the physical...

                    I often resize just to fit the size of the wood I have on hand. I agree this is a no win situation because of the various software, hardware differences plus the skill level of us, the end users. Even providing the patterns in a digitized format will no fix this because of the reasons I already mentioned....

                    John your original post is a valid question. It is a simple thing to put in the original scale assuming that it was on the original drawing. As a minimum the size of the material required can be stated, although that has been a confusion for folks that have built the clock projects. I field a lot of...

                    Maybe nothing has changed ? But is there anything that can be done to make it easier. The very large projects are difficult to copy over several pages and put together properly. I believe in making improvements and not preserving the status quo.

                    I enjoy the challenge of cutting a project...
