Busy times!

What with traveling, preparing for the holidays and making Christmas gifts I clean forgot to report the success of another Phinney Neighborhood Association (PNA) wood shop class.  This time we made shaker style bentwood trays.  They are shaker style because the Shakers are not known to have made trays.  But that didn’t stop us from using shaker bentwood techniques to make them.

Four students  made three trays each of differing sizes. During the two day process they learned to used the bandsaw, the combination sander, how to clench nail and steam (boil) bend wood.

Everyone had fun, learned some new skills and went home with a set of hand made trays.  I think that we may also have recruited some new wood shop members for the PNA.
