This class was another success for the teaching group of Jim, David, Clarence and John.   We made a hook tool and a depth gauge.  Very cool.

Yes, this is the 4th Saturday, rather than our traditional 3rd Saturday, but we have all been rather busy.  Hope this still works for everyone that is interested in this session.  Our plan is to do homemade shop tools.  In particular, this will include a depth gauge, tool handle with ferrule, and the tool to go into the handle:  hook tool or pyramid tool or a round point scraper.  Most of these tools will be require doing some woodworking at home to finish, but we will demonstrate the required steps and build them in the class.                               We should be able to complete the metal work in the class.  There will be a small cost associated with this class, to cover the cost of any materials that you take home with you.  We will purchase the hardware required to make a number of depth gauges and ferrules.  All of this hardware can be purchased at your local hardware store.  John Brugo purchased steel for the tools, and Clarence Kellogg will bring his torch to help with anyone that wants to make a hook tool.  Costs will be small, so do think you need to spend big bucks, this isn't a profit center.
