Project Completed

The wheel chair ramp project was completed. cost ran over $37 for the 3 days we worked, we had 10 to 11 people helping and it really made the job easier and fun.

   

Programs for 2017

 

Programs for the 1st 4 months are as follows; January is the (4) charity organizations we hope to start supporting with items and services our club members do. February will be howard wright who created the monster lathe for turning. march will be Cindy Orr from Orr Décor on antiquing furniture with a painting process. April will be Ronald Young from Chattannoga returning for a wood working program.

We will be scaling back our time limits on programs to 30 minutes as a target so we can continue to accommodate the larger influx of show and tell items so we can regulate the length of the meeting times a little better.

Thanks so much, Jack Kincella

    HAZARD SUMMARY
    • Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate can affect you when breathed in and may be absorbed through the skin.
    • Contact can irritate and burn the skin and eyes.
    • Breathing Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing.
    • Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate may cause a skin allergy. If allergy develops, very low future exposure can cause itching and a skin rash.
    • Methyl 2-Cyanoacrylate may cause an asthma-like allergy. Future exposure can cause asthma attacks with shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, and/or chest tightness.

    The wisdom of the above is that safety glasses,rubber gloves and breathing masks (respirators) are best worn when working with these glues. A good ventilation is also important.

               

    Work safely and don’t take unnecessary chances with your woodworking tools

      

    Always wear your safety glasses in the shop
