Safety Note
Rule and Regulation of the Week
- Today's RULE comes from our Leather Working Area Champion Adam:
- When working on the 4×8 table in the leather working area or on the granite block, NEVER use dyes, paints or anything that can stain. These materials easily transfer to the leather being worked on that table and can ruin a person's project.
