Another 55 Pens for Troops Completed

Well done, makers!

Call for volunteers/demonstrators
 
CMOM Makers' Day
March 16, 2024 
10:00 AM until 2:00 PM
 
Five to six MSWG members will be making tops using two or three mini lathes during this event.  
 
All materials will be supplied and all you will need to bring is a sharpened spindle or bowl gouge and your safety glasses/face shield.
 
This is a call for volunteers to help with this event. 
 
No experience needed - it is fun and easy, and we will show you everything you need to know.

This will be our second DIY Makers' Day at CMOM. This time we will be in the foyer near the carousel, and CMOM is anticipating twice as many children. 
 
As for times, setup will start at 9 AM and the event is planned to run from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.
