Wood shop updates

It has been a blessing having people who care about the Wood shop and have decided to put their money and time in developing the Wood shop. The machines we got are up and running, work has indeed been made easier. It was a challenge putting them together, but it gave us quite a fantastic social time besides work.

The following are the machines that came in the container:

1. Rigid table saw 10 inch.

2. Rigid, joiner / planer, 6 inch.

3. Dust collector.

4. Oscillating spindle sander.

5. Wood lathe and lathe tools.

6. Thickness planer 12.5 inch with stand and blades.

7. Delta bench-top band saw.

8. Crafts man 12 inch miter saw (used).

9. Yellow glue, 2 gallons.

10. 4 transformers.

11. Goggles screw drivers, 3 adjustable wrenches, spirit level, hand saw. Claw hammers.

12. Table saw blades, rubber mallet.


We have taught Francis Cugia how to use the lathe machine and Micheal Mackenzie, can use the Oscillating spindle sander. The boys are enthused by the machines and are really eager to learn how each work, but Nzioka and I hav to teach safetety first before handling the machines.

Robin, I am glad you have new tools and equipment to work with. It was quite a wait but well worth it.
