From the PresidentWoodshop Tweet
Howdy from Wyoming; cool mornings/nights, great fishing, tremendous scenery and wildlife.
On the trip to this great state, I had an opportunity to tour the Hansen Wheel and Wagon shop located just north of Mitchell, South Dakota. Pretty impressive shop facilities (including wood, blacksmith, and machine shops) coupled with tremendously talented trades. The attached link will give you a feel for the shop and its environment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxfJAIFce_o&feature=plcp
Also, attached is a link to the folks involved in the company; just the nicest, most passionate people you'd want to meet. https://www.hansenwheel.com/meet-our-team
So much for now. See you after the trip back east.

Tip of the Month - A Bit of Organization Goes a Long Way
I adapted this tip from a tip about protecting your recipes in the kitchen. But, the more I worked on it, the better it worked for woodworking. |

Editors NotesAlways keep your ear to the ground for patterns, wood and projects that, while you may not be interested, others in the Guild might be. Send me an email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I'll send it out to the Guild. A neighbor taking down a big hardwood means inexpensive wood to you. The Guild is developing a relationship with Chris Vickers of Somerton Ridge who has a kiln. Upgrading a tool? Another member might want to give your old one a home. See a woodworking magazine at the library? Bring it to a meeting. The Guild is a family of woodworkers and woodworkers help each other. See you Monday - Karl |

When you're working with small patterns, keeping track of bits and pieces is important. Use a gallon-sized zip top plastic bag. First, it will hold your pattern to the page desired, whether it's folded, a magazine or a pattern book. It keeps dust and spatters off, as well. The bag will also hold small pieces, construction notes, pattern pieces and other parts of the project. At the end of the day, zip it shut and put it away.
