• Member-at-Large position:
  • Marcus Schneider nominated, seconded, accepted at last week's member meeting.
  • There were no additional nominations in the following week; Marcus will continue to be a Member at Large.

• Last week's tip was: Doing multiple “same-size” cuts on the table saw (e.g. cutting 50 matching plaques). Use the Rocklear sled with a stopper block and a hold down. This will give you the same size piece, time after time.
• This week BOD member Alden Hoot recommends:
  • Bevel the bottom edge of that block of wood so the sawdust does NOT collect in a corner you can't easily clean, which can alter your measurement.
  • Alden also recommends reading “Laser Etching Metal: What to Know to Get Started” on m.all3DP.com
    • Too much info to unpack here, but an excellent article to get you started.
