Love it. Makes me want to rejoin scouting. About 65 years ago, …

The project came out great, Bill. Very nice.

Two other epoxy brands that are worth considering are:

System Three (https://www.systemthree.com/)

MAS Epoxies (https://masepoxies.com/)

Beautiful work, Bill. The jigs are ingenious.

Solid ideas, Corey; sign me up. How did Tamar respond? And thank you, Steve, for your generous offer.

Asking Tamar to offer a “How to” class on videos is an interesting idea, but it does pose a couple of questions:
1. Assuming Tamar’s YouTube presence is important to her and recognizing the highly competitive nature for viewership, are we putting her in an uncomfortable position by essentially asking for instruction to chase the same audience?
2. Does the LIW currently own all necessary equipment to make videos reflecting solid production values or will we end up having to buy other paraphernalia and then have to grapple with ongoing questions of storage and access?

Tamara has a particularly strong suit in deconstructing or reverse-engineering processes and objects into their elementary parts and then developing her own approaches to construction. A walk-through (demonstration) would be interesting. In turn, this could be a project that participants could try onsite or in their own shops.

Sorry about the misspelling of Tamar’s name; it is Tamar, not Tamara.

Tamara is an interesting woodworker. She seems to have a gift for reverse-engineering or deconstructing items into more manageable components. And look at how she bundles up to work in an unheated shop. Who has not done that? It does seem she principally uses power tools. Perhaps Harry or Corey could provide space for a Saturday. Since Tamara is a parent of younger children, a two-day gig could prove difficult.

All the more impressive is LIW member Mr. Corey Tighe has mastered Maloof joinery. He rates a mister because perhaps one day his work will also command stratospheric sums.
