Subject: Tool Building Workshop
Presenter: George Corder, Hanford, Ca.
The sawdust session at George's
shop in Hanford was a perfect setting for the event. The participants
arrived with empty turned tool handles in hand. For 6 hours George’s
wood shop was converted into a metal shop with the sounds of grinding,
drilling and tapping resonating from within. Many taps were sacrificed
reminding the turners that there was a learning curve in tapping metal,
but success was had by almost everyone. At the completion of the event,
two completed carbide tools went home with each member. After a few
hours we broke for lunch consisting of barbecued Elk Brats, sub
sandwiches with all the trimmings and Hanford’s Superior Dairy Fresh
Peach Ice Cream to top off the meal. A special thanks goes out to George
Corder for and outstanding day!
