Timely to congratulate Taupo Wood Crafters as they celebrate 40 years at this years Taupo Jamboree this weekend

A great opportunity to spend 3 days creating and seeing others at work

Also have had a chance to see some of the Art of Wood entries we will be seeing on the 17th in Tauranga. Some stunning pieces when you see them in person and these weren’t even category winners so really looking forward to seeing them. See you at the Art of Wood expo on the 17th - bring your family and friends. Open 11:00 to 02:00

A busy scrollsaw morning today. We had 3 pop over from the Hauraki club to get assistance with some scrollsaw equipment issues but that soon extend to a wander to chat with people about what our members were working. With a couple of in progress intarsia projects were a source of interest and Jacob was on hand to give guidance. Marks “Warrior” plaque making good progress. IF you are interested feel free to come along - friendly tuition

Today saw us finish the mass production of splinks for the House of Science. Its been a co-lab between our two charities so that science resources can be supplied to primary and intermediate schools countrywide.

Its been a challenge as a there were 14 steps involved to make a splink - it looked so simple. Thanks must go out to Mike Buck who ably lead us and who made and reworked jigs so we could successfully and consistently make all the parts. We had help from over 10 members who pitched in a did a bit when the could

If you want to know more about the overall project please read the article in today’s Sun

While the Guild has earned from this, the other major win was the camaraderie and teamwork of those who participated

Again thankyou to those involved for another project well delivered
