Gary will discuss the very basics of dust/chip collection and how to incorporate this into your woodworking shop - whether it’s a large and dusty the garage shop, or a small room or shed.

Literally, and figuratively a tool desert. With that said, when it comes to the used tool market, there is just not much here. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Lets not forget, we do have this nice Woodcraft here. And I buy a fair bit here. However, for me and my budget, I have had to rely on the used tool market as I started to play with the whole hand tool idea. I started with old Stanleys. And I now have mixed a little bit of modern tools into my inventory when the deal was there. And a few custom makers when I could afford to splurge a little. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So, Let's talk a little about Facebook. I was just about to delete my account. A few years back I actually deactivated it for about 6 months. I came back after a kid (ha-ha!) showed me how to unfollow, and filter out most of the BS I was seeing. I then discovered a vast woodworking community here. And there is a woodworking group for everything you can imagine. Brands, sales, restorations, just to name a few. it just goes on forever. Not all are that good, so you have to figure that out. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So I decided to dive into hand tool woodworking, and found a couple Facebook groups right away. One was about tips and tricks on restoring old rusty tools. Another was a parts supplier. This led me to a group called CIHI - which stands for “can I have it” - it’s a vintage tool and auction group.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And it has sort of blown up from there. For the most part, I am following maybe 20 groups now. And many of the same people are in all these groups. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I won a couple auctions on CIHI and discovered local estate auctions. With that I started picking tools for fun. With the local auctions. Tools are sold in lots, so I would have to buy several tools to get the one I wanted. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Then I started selling the tools I did not want on CIHI. That led to FB marketplace, Offerup, and a little bit on eBay. And honestly, for me it has gotten a little out of hand. I find myself flipping tools instead of woodworking. So I have really cut back. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But, if you want to find tools locally. This group right here (the Sin City Woodworkers) is a good start. Ask ourselves do we have any tools to sell? Over on CIHI, we have Teaser Tuesday where we post recent tools we pick, and that are available to buy outright, or post in the weekend auction, and wishlist Wednesday where you have the opportunity to ask the group if they have what you are looking for. As I write this, CIHI is a little over 16.5k members now. That's just crazy. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But our little group here can have some hidden gems too. And as many know we tend to do a community tool/yard sale about once a year. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Part of the FB community led me to James Write, aka Wood by Wright. He has good Youtube content, funny, and his website. He has created a Hand tool finder resource. If you go to his web site, <a href="https://www.woodbywright.com/"><span style="color: #1652ca;">https://www.woodbywright.com/</span></a> And go to the resources tab. you will find tool events, A tool finder map, that's places to find hand tools all over the world. Lumber finders, clubs and groups, and trusted online sellers. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Before I head out on a road trip… I check his tool finder map. And maybe a pit stop is in order at some antique shop? And of course if you find a tool source that is not on the map. Just drop him an email, and the maps will get updated. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Mention MWTCA Midwest Tool Collectors Association. </span><span style="color: #1652ca; font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://mwtca.org/" style="font-family: verdana;">https://mwtca.org</a> </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">They have tool meets all over the country. I have not made it to any of them yet. But it is on my list. James Writes YouTube channel covers them. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Ok, on to where to buy tools and what to watch out for. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Tool sales sites, no auctions here. These two guys are professional tool resellers. They buy and sell just about any hand tool you can imagine. And some you can't. And they both post new tools daily. I have bought a few tools from Jim Bode, and have chatted with Michael Rouillard a few times. But I have yet to buy from him. Most of what they sell will be top grade, and may be priced to reflect that. But I have found Jim Bodes prices to be about right with what the market is. You have to watch Michael, he can have a good deal, but he can be a little greedy too. So it is alway important to know what the tool you are looking at is actually worth. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #1652ca; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.jimbodetools.com/collections/whats-new"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">https://www.jimbodetools.com/collections/whats-new</span></a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #1652ca; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://michaelrouillardtools.com/"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">https://michaelrouillardtools.com/</span></a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Here we have pretty much the same as above, but they are both auction sites. </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Martin Donnelly, or Mjd is my favorite. And I have given him most of my tool money in the past year. He tends to only have a single photo posted to bid off of. But the descriptions are good. And if you get something that is not what they promised. It is returnable. That has not happened to me so far. You can call them and ask questions if need be. I have not been disappointed with any of my purchases. They tend to have auctions on the 1st Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. Some months skipped. And then in July they have a three day event live in Avoca, New York. However the July auction has the same pre bidding that starts about two weeks early. And the live auction runs Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. These live auctions broadcast on their website, and you can bid live from your phone or PC at home. Since this is live, Hammer strike wins the lot. First Tuesday and Wednesday are timed auctions with a two minute soft close. </span><a href="https://mjdtools.nextlot.com/auctions" style="font-family: verdana;">https://mjdtools.nextlot.com/auctions</a></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">Fine tool, or Brown auction is ok. But I don't like the format. And the one lot I have won here…. turned out to have a broken tool.

This site is a love/hate for me. But I use it all the time. </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Buying here can be tricky. Some great deals to be had on occasion. But BUYER BEWARE. Watch the photos! If you see an ad for a tool with 10+ nice and clear photos, chances are you have a reputable seller. But often there will be tools with few, and or dark photos that are hard to really see what you are bidding on. Or they have photos, but missing key views. Like why are there no photos of the bottom or the right side of that hand plane. Ask the buyer for more and or better photos. Sometimes you get lucky and have a seller that just does not know what they are doing. But more often than not, it's a seller trying to hide the true condition of the tool. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">I have picked a few good tools here. But lost or skipped 50 more. So good auction sites like Mjd.com have what is called soft closing. This varies a bit, but typically means that any bid inside the last two minutes starts a two minute clock over again. so you can not wait till the last 10 seconds, and make a last second bid and win. eBay does not have this. On eBay, when the clock runs out, it's over. And you will have a winning bid of lets say $50 on a $300 tool. and think you are getting a great deal. and BAM, with seconds to go, ten others bid on it and it sells for $190. You can enter a max bid. Let's say you are winning at $50, but you are willing to pay $210. You can prebid it, and if someone bids against you. It will keep you as the winner by $1, until your max number is reached. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/">https://www.ebay.com/</a></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">So that was all the trouble, or my hate with eBay. Now here is the Love where eBay has a good tool. Just about everything gets sold here at one time or another. So you are shopping for a tool, and you see it anywhere. Seller wants X price for it, or you are on an auction site and wonder how high should i bid? Well, type any tool into Ebay's search bar. And instantly you will see asking prices. Remember, I can ask any price I want. No matter how ridiculously high it may be. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #161a1e; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">But on a PC, scroll down the left side column.

(The various memberships that we belong to charge us membership fees, which is where the dues go.) Dues are cheap - just $20! - and are always voluntary, never mandatory. For a mere $20, you get to call yourself an official Sin City Woodworker, with all the perks that go along with it. IYKYK</span></p>

We've lost a few members, and gained quite a few in the last 2.5 years!<br /><br />We’ll be holding an outdoor swap meet on Sunday, September 25 - we’ll get started at 10:00 AM and stay until the last deal is done!<br /><br />This will be your chance to buy - sell - or - barter tools with like-minded woodworkers, so clean out your woodshop and join us!<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>This early announcement will give you time to grab all the extra tools and gear that you'd like to sell or trade. Start your pile!</strong></span><br /><br />Everyone is welcome to bring a table or cart to our next meeting and set up a booth in our parking lot. The parking lot at Studio:Wood It Is is mostly empty on Sunday mornings, so everyone will have a chance to spread out and sell their wares. <br /><br />Some of the goodies up for grabs include many hand tools, small power tools like routers, drills, drivers, nail guns, and MUCH more. There will also be some wood for sale - including live edge slabs, exotics, dimensional lumber, and too much to mention. You’re going to find some great bargains here, just in time for your winter projects!<br /><br /><a href="https://wooditis.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=322cf14e16a430d4a3e234fcf&id=e878f8b945&e=b9be8ac944" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #6dc6dd; cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-ebWnMafpPPM%2FX4KavDgmBwI%2FAAAAAAAAbYI%2F3TnxQJsHoe0zd8higzjdJUResLa0mYwpACLcBGAsYHQ%2Fw400-h301%2FScreen%252BShot%252B2013-12-29%252Bat%252B10.21.04%252BAM.png&t=1661824462&ymreqid=0a4461d3-ac33-830a-2f2c-5a0010010c00&sig=qyytP4lFlbxM7egc0YNU.w--~D" style="border: 0px; min-height: auto !important; outline: none; text-decoration: none; visibility: visible;" width="400" /></a><br /> <p style="line-height: 22.5px; margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px;">This swap meet will be held at Studio: Wood It Is!, 2267 West Gowan, unit 106 in North Las Vegas.

font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">First off - Happy New Year to all you woodworkers - this is going to be a feel-good update, and I think all of us need that right about now!</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">The year 2020 will go down as one of the more challenging times in our lives, but let’s focus on a few bright spots. I know one group of woodworkers who will have a better year, and it’s the crew at Transition Services. Last month, I sent out a request for donations to purchase a planer for the woodworkers there. They have a small woodshop, with a lot of donated and hand-me-down tools. </span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"> </span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">When they attended the last AWFS show a few summers ago, they were fascinated by all of the machinery, especially the SawStop saws.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MIMUSSqU5nY/X_6VEFgBBPI/AAAAAAAAboo/QvbGHdPRR5g2kpvc24pQ-E5KPkw6l95GgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1732/Transition%2BServices%2Bcrew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1228" data-original-width="1732" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MIMUSSqU5nY/X_6VEFgBBPI/AAAAAAAAboo/QvbGHdPRR5g2kpvc24pQ-E5KPkw6l95GgCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Transition%2BServices%2Bcrew.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PoZHnxBwyHY/X_6VCvFHoHI/AAAAAAAAbok/Re6OFBgNnxkVPGHO6WgANF6Wzx8seWBMwCLcBGAsYHQ/s960/transition%2Bservices.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PoZHnxBwyHY/X_6VCvFHoHI/AAAAAAAAbok/Re6OFBgNnxkVPGHO6WgANF6Wzx8seWBMwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/transition%2Bservices.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">But their big need was for a planer, so that they could make cutting boards to sell in their gift shop.

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">As donations started rolling in, pretty soon it was evident that we were going to surpass our planer goal. And here’s the outstanding news - not only were we able to afford a planer but we raised enough to buy them a SawStop tablesaw, too.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"> </span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IITJqvb6zmE/X_6YW6A05nI/AAAAAAAAbqQ/X2S55neXkSknNbG9JE2l4MvqjwrOLRHcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/0.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IITJqvb6zmE/X_6YW6A05nI/AAAAAAAAbqQ/X2S55neXkSknNbG9JE2l4MvqjwrOLRHcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/0.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span> <br /></span></p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Well - I take that back - we were just a bit short, so Jeri and Christian at Woodworker’s Emporium covered the amount that we were short. Truly, this was a community effort that exceeded all expectations.</span></p>

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s been 9 long months since we met back in February, and little did we know that so many things would change in our lives. I hope this finds you (and your family) staying healthy and safe. I’ve received so many messages of good will and support during our break, and we’ve even had quite a few new members join our MeetUp group.

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our annual Holiday party is obviously canceled, and truthfully - I’m not sure when we’ll meet again - hopefully in the Spring, but based on some new public health predictions - it might not be for a while. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But I know many of you are still working in your woodshops, and you’ve building some amazing pieces. So - here’s a way that we can still have a bit of woodworking camaraderie during these isolated times… </span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One of our members (Boz) is an amazing computer guy, a VERY talented photographer, and kick-ass woodworker, to boot - and he’s issued the following offer:</span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Why not take a some photos of what you’ve been building in your shop during this pandemic, and Boz will put together a slide show so that we can share it with each other? Please feel free to give some additional info about the photos, if you feel like they need it. We may have to edit some of the info, based on how many we receive, but we’d like to see what you’re doing to stay sane and creative!</span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Please send your photos and info to me at the following email: <a href="mailto:wooditis@aol.com"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">wooditis@aol.com</span></a> If you send them, please put “SCWW Photos” in the subject line, so the don’t accidentally end up in my SPAM folder. </span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 12px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">With a little luck (and some hard work by Boz) - we’ll be able to post the slide show next month, in place of Holiday meeting.</span></span></p>

Some of the stationary power tools up for sale will be a couple of bandsaws, a small drum sander, a lathe or two, and more. There will also be a ton to wood for sale - including live edge slabs, exotics, dimensional lumber, and too much to mention.
