The Central States BBQ for 2005 has come to an end and many if not all of the attendees have arrived back home by now. Many THANKS to Terry Hatfield and Cheryl for hosting another wonderful BBQ.
I had a lot more fun at this BBQ since I wasn't working behind a Tormek most of this time this year.
Here is a summary of what went on:
Friday night was the informal gathering with burgers and brots served at supper. Many showed up on Friday and we all had a really nice time talking shop and catching up on how each person was doing outside the shop.
Saturday began with breakfast at Susan's Rest-ee-raunt for a real good down home breakfast. Then it was on to Terry's shop for fun, wood, demo's and door prizes.
Handcut Dovetails by Jeff Hamilton
Discussion about teaching kids woodworking and general box making by Doug Stowe. Doug brought some of his books and many were sold at the BBQ. Thanks to Doug Stowe, we all know how to make Barbie Toilet Paper and TP Holer now.!!
Door prizes were drawn and here is about all I can remember:
Vega donated a very nice Pro Miter Guage.
Terry Hatfield donated a very nicely restored Stanley handplane.
Jeff Hamilton donated some of his really SWEET marking guages. If you use a marking guage or are in the need for one? Get one of Jeff's marking guages. Those things work VERY nicely. I'll be posting a review of his marking guage in a future post as well as have the review on my personal web site.
Mark Cothren donated a very pretty spalted Pecan bowl.
