Greetings On September 19th several of our members met to tour the Sam Werner Military Museum in Monteagle. Five of us met in Cowan at Paw Paw’s Country Restaurant for breakfast. I thought we were going to have a small crowd for the tour. However, when we got to the museum, a larger group of

Greetings The August meeting promises to be a real barnburner. The auction always turns out to be a big deal, but this one is going to be a BIG DEAL! Watch for emails explain how some of the items can be viewed before the sale. We’ll also be finalizing the tour to the Military Museum.

Greetings I trust you all had a great July 4th. We saw a couple fireworks displays and ate a lot of BBQ. It’s a great country that celebrates by eating slow cooked meat and watching explosives. These are busy times what with gardens, grass mowing and such. I hope you’ve also managed to get in

Greetings Have you ever had one of those days when nothing seemed to go right? I’ve had one of those days for about the last four weeks! I ordered a new 100 watt laser engraver about the first of May. When it was delivered there were issues with it. It took the last four weeks

Greetings We had a good day at the Sharpening Seminar on the 22nd . We had six or eight in attendance (some were a little dull) but by lunch time we were all sharp woodworkers! A week or so ago Henry Davis and I took a road trip to Dean Lutes shop to pick up

Greetings Well, as I write this, it’s the afternoon of “Spring Forward.” I made through church without sleeping (at least not too much.) But I’m not sure I’ll be able to resist the call of the recliner the rest of the afternoon. I’d sure like to get a good start on the newsletter though. Before

Greetings February is upon us and by the time you read this newsletter Valentine’s Day may have come and gone. I hope you remembered the one who takes care of you. Whether it be wife, husband, parent, or friend. “Always take care of the one who takes care of you.” I plan on bringing to

Greetings This year is very special. It’s loaded with expectations, possibilities, and challenges (great and small, good and bad.) I pray for you all a good year with no greater problems than you can comfortably handle – or at least, handle. Of one thing I’m relatively sure. If you have a woodworking problem, you have

Greetings This year is quickly slipping through our fingers. I trust we have all made the best of those days. We’ve had many opportunities for fellowship. I’ve enjoyed the meetings/programs this past year both in-person and on Zoom. Glad to see Covid moving into the past.  I’ve had the pleasure of working on group projects
